Ghanaian Fashionista, Richard Brown, has finally launched the Osebo brand in Accra to take over the world.
The launch of the exclusive collections which took place at the Sunlodge Hotel in Accra was made up of slippers, sandals, shoes, and clothes among others.
Unveiling the Osebo brand, models seen striding Osebo shoes hit the runway with catwalk to exhibit the new exclusive Ghanaian fashion brand.
Speaking at the launch which took place on Friday, January 12, Osebo revealed that the time had come for him to take on the world and prove his mettle in the area of fashion, as well as create employment.
The fashionista believes this would sell Ghana and open doors of opportunities for the youth.
He added that the journey to this phase of his life has taken time and patience to build such a brand for himself and all others directly and indirectly involved.
I have been in this business for 28 years and I feel this is the time to come out with my own brand of products. I have worked with much known brands outside the country so I got them to design my own products for me,” he noted.
Touching on his partnership with an Italian manufacturer and the way forward for him, he said, “I have been talking to them for years and I just got the approval last year. I have always been known as the Zaraman but now it is Osebo.”
The event was graced by some prominent personalities such as, Deputy Minister for Tourism Arts and Culture, Mark Okraku Mantey, George Quaye, Kwasi Kyei Darkwah, Azumah Nelson, Okyeame Kwame, Kwabena Kwabena, Nacee, Akua Amoakowaa of Ghana’s Most Beautiful fame, Nana Tonardo, Dr Osei Kwame Despite, Dr Ernest Ofori Sarpong, Emmanuel Agyemang Badu, Piesie Esther and some members of the East Legon Excutives club among others.

It was a night of intellect, eloquence and culture as contestants of the 2026 Miss Tourism Ghana took centre stage at the Coconut Grove Regency Hotel for the Debate and Culture Night last Saturday.
The event, which forms part of activities leading up to the grand finale, saw the ladies move beyond beauty to battle with ideas, facts and opinions on a topic critical to the tourism industry.
The contestants debated the topic: The Importance of Traditional and Digital Media on Promotion of Tourism.
For the debate, the contestants were grouped into two teams of four, each tasked with defending a side of the argument.
It was a fierce but respectful exchange. The team arguing for traditional media described it as the trust builder, emphasising its credibility, mass reach, and its power to tell in-depth, emotional stories through television documentaries, radio and newspaper features.
They argued that traditional media still shapes public opinion and influences policy decisions in the tourism sector.
On the other side, the proponents of digital media raised salient points about its unmatched advantages in the modern era.
They highlighted its global reach at low cost, its two-way interaction that allows tourists to share real experiences and reviews, its ability to target specific audiences, and its measurable results where clicks, views and bookings can be tracked.
After heated arguments and rebuttals, both teams arrived at a powerful consensus that drew applause from the audience.
They concluded that without traditional media, tourism promotion lacks credibility and depth, and without digital media, it lacks reach, engagement and sales.
The judges and patrons agreed that the debate underscored a crucial lesson for Ghana’s tourism drive: for a country blessed with rich cultural heritage, colourful festivals, historic forts and castles, diverse wildlife and pristine beaches, the winning formula lies in combining the storytelling power of traditional media with the viral power of digital media to attract both domestic and international tourists.
The night was not only about debate, as the contestants also dazzled in cultural wear, showcasing the beauty and diversity of Ghanaian culture.
