AhemaKlodin, a blend of Ghana’s cultural heritage
Over the years, there has been a growing desire for African designs, however, blending it with one’s cultural heritage is a trait difficult to cone by.
Fashion brand, Ahemaklodin, which is fast becoming the choice for most females with their unique designs which suit all body types , perfectly blends designs with the Ghanaian cultural heritage.
They achieved this by combination of African prints, kente and carving a niche
to satisfy everyone and make them stand out at occasions.
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Ahemaklodin, Mrs. Tamar Ahema Abayateye told the Spectator that she had always worked to create a brand that would suit everyone regardless of their age and body type.
For children especially, she said, that Ahemaklodin would soon launch the AhemaKids brand that would focus solely on providing outfits for them (children.)
She urged all to patronise local designers to push the Made in Ghana initiative as well as preserve Ghanaian culture and heritage.
“I also believe in the Made in Ghana initiative and that Ghanaians should wear and patronise our own as local designers can create outfits to satisfy the market,” she stated.
A powerful creative shift took place in Tamale over the weekend, where fashion, culture, and youth converged to redefine the city’s identity.
TrendsRunwayShow celebrated its fifth anniversary, a milestone that confirms Tamale’s growing presence on Ghana’s fashion map and signals a bold, new era for the northern region’s creative economy.
This year’s edition, themed “Freedom of Expression,” granted designers full creative liberty to explore identity, heritage, and modern style.
Eight designers and one stylist showcased collections ranging from culturally infused silhouettes to experimental contemporary designs that captivated audiences across the city.
The runway brought together 25 male and female models, many of whom rely on the show as a stepping stone due to limited access to opportunities in Accra and other southern cities.

Every winner of Ghana’s Most Beautiful from 2021 to 2025 rocks an outfit that included a touch of red.
This fashion choice stood out across five seasons of the popular beauty pageant, which celebrates culture, confidence, and regional pride.
The winners came from different parts of Ghana, but their shared use of red created a visual link that caught the attention of viewers and fashion lovers alike.
Interestingly, some designers may choose red to highlight boldness or to honour tradition. In the case of these queens, red appeared in different forms—from kente patterns and beadwork to embroidery and flowing gowns. Each winner used the colour in her own way.
Fashion plays a big role in how contestants express themselves, and the final night is known for the dramatic, elegant outfits. That’s when the red details shine the most under the lights, in front of the judges, and across social media.
But over five years, the pattern has become clear. Red is more than a colour; it is a statement. It connects winners across time and space, showing that beauty, culture, and confidence can be stitched together in one bold shade.
