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.

The fourth edition of the fast-rising fashion and cultural event, the Slit and Kaba Festival, is set to take place on May 1 at the Legon City Mall in Accra.
Organised by Roots Africa, the festival aims to promote Ghanaian culture through the traditional Kaba and Slit outfit, known for its vibrant African prints and unique designs.
Speaking to The Spectator Agoro ahead of this year’s edition, dubbed “Old School Kaba and Slit Meets Batakari,” the Founder of Roots Africa, Mrs. Deborah Kabutey-Djisah, popularly known as Manye Korngo, said the event has gained significant popularity over the years and promised an even bigger experience this time around.
“The intention is to revive old-school fashion while celebrating our revered Fugu, also known as Batakari, which has gained massive exposure in recent times,” she stated.
“It is also an opportunity to showcase our culture and demonstrate to young people how fashion has evolved over the years,” she added.
She further called on vendors to come on board to display their products and services, noting that thousands of patrons are expected to attend the event.
“Don’t miss the chance to have your brand featured on our flyers, make incredible sales, and be part of an unforgettable experience,” she urged.
According to her, the previous edition was a great success, attracting patrons from across the country. Due to the growing interest, a larger venue had to be secured to accommodate the anticipated crowd.
“I’m expecting ten times more people than we had at last year’s festival,” she added.
