Glamek Exclusive Agoro show slated for April
Students of Glamek Exclusive Institute are set to stage a fashion show dubbed, ‘Roots to Runway’ on April 11, at the GNAT Hostel, Nungua in Accra.
The second edition of the fashion show would give students who underwent the two-year fashion design course an opportunity to showcase their designs to the world.
The ‘free show’ will begin to showcase outfits of casual, formal, and dinner wear.
In an interview with the Chief Executive Officer of Glamek Exclusive Institute, Mrs. Gloria Yeboah Ameyaw Kwei, she stated that studying fashion design as a course was important because it equips students with creative, technical, and entrepreneurial skills.
This, she said, would help innovation and create employment opportunities for the youth in the country. Adding, she said that “Irrespective of one’s educational background, one can acquire these skills to earn create something extra,” she told The Spectator Agoro.
She said the night would be a beautiful blend of exhibition, food bazaar, and music, and urged fashion lovers to attend the show to make it a memorable evening for the graduates.
The institution, which began operations in 2010, has nurtured many designers with a vision to stand out as one of Africa’s best creative institutions that provides services and training for individuals and organisations.
