KPALANGA-INSPIRED fashion designs took centre stage in Tamale during the launch of the ‘Fugu Wednesday Wear’ initiative by the National Investment Bank PLC.
The Tamale-based fashion brand SNIKIA NEWLUK showcased a collection of modern outfits made from traditional Fugu fabric, presenting creative designs that blended Northern Ghana’s iconic smock with contemporary fashion styles.

Models walked the runway in uniquely tailored outfits that highlighted the versatility of Kpalanga, a modern interpretation of the traditional Fugu designed to appeal to younger generations and professionals.
Speaking on the side-lines of the event, the founder of SNIKIA NEWLUK said the brand aims to modernise Northern Ghanaian fashion while preserving its cultural identity.
The event formed part of activities marking the launch of the National Fugu Wednesday initiative, which encourages Ghanaians to wear locally made smocks every Wednesday to promote Ghanaian culture and support the local fashion industry.

Denim on Denim: The timeless trend making a stylish comeback

For years, fashion lovers were not interested in rocking denim on denim.
Today, however, the trend has evolved into one of the most fashionable and versatile looks on runways, city streets and social media.

Denim-on-denim styling involves pairing two or more denim pieces in a single outfit, such as a denim shirt with jeans, a denim jacket over a denim skirt, or even matching denim sets.
The trend has also become popular because of denim’s versatility. It can be dressed up with heels, jewellery and handbags, or styled casually with sneakers and simple accessories.
This flexibility makes denim-on-denim suitable for a variety of occasions, from weekend outings to casual workplace settings.
For those trying the trend for the first time, fashion stylists recommend starting with classic pieces. A well-fitted denim jacket and a pair of straight-leg jeans provide a simple foundation.
