Celestine is creative- Patmens
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Patmens Clothing, Ms Patience Mensah, has described gospel artiste, Celestine Donkor as versatile.
This is because “she sketches her own design on paper to help me understand what she wants and how she wants her dress to be made.”
“She always comes up with an idea of how she wants her outfit to be”
Ms Mensah said Celestine was introduced to her by a friend, Linda, from Insaaniyya Secondary School at Bodwoase in the Central Region.
She explained that making clothes for Celestine had opened up a lot of opportunities for her adding that “She gives me regular mentions and tags on social media platforms.”
When asked why she always left materials at Celestine’s back and side of her outfit, Patmens explained that because of the gospel artiste’s body size, she preferred to cover her back and other parts to avoid showcasing her body.
The evergreen gospel artiste, Celestine Donkor has described her stylist as very talented because “she is the only designer who makes my clothes the way I want it”. Because has worked with a lot of artistes she prefers Patmens’s handy works to other designers having dealt with her for the past four years.

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.
