It was a night of style and glamour as fashion designers of the GLAMEK Exclusive Institute stepped on the runway to exhibit their collections.

GLAMEK Exclusive is an institution with the mission to train, empower and provide entrepreneurial skills in areas of fashion design, creative arts and fashion technology.

The maiden fashion show highlighted designs such as bridal, beach (resort), corporate, casual and dinner collections from the students.

Themed ‘Cultural Fusion,’ it featured a mind-blowing display of textiles with different concepts created by the students.

In an interview with The Spectator, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of GLAMEK Exclusive Institute, Mrs Gloria Yeboah Ameyaw Kwei, said being a fashion designer does not necessarily mean one is not brilliant or a school dropout.

“We want the youth to know that when you are into fashion designing it does not mean the person is not academically good or did not attend school.

She explained that it was about time people drop that misconception that fashion designing is for school drop-outs and see it as a gift inherent in them from God.
