Promoting ‘Made in Ghana with’ DH by DH
Multi-awarded gospel singer, Diana Antwi Hamilton, has unveiled her clothing line, DH by DH.
DH by DH which means Diana Hamilton by Diana Hamilton is to project the true identity of hard working Ghanaian women.
Each dress is marked with rich African culture, unique style and fashion that exudes the beauty and elegance of womanhood.
Mrs Hamilton said over the years, all the outfits she wore during concerts and in her music videos had been her original designs.
“I conceive the idea but I don’t make these clothes. I speak to a designer who will then turn my vision into a beautiful outfit.
“But then, I realised people ended up wearing what I wore so there was that burden to finally let the fashion side out for others to benefit. I want people to wear my clothes and feel the way I feel.”she stated
The talented gospel musician said that she is currently working together with her sister Adelaide, a pharmacist who doubles as her Executive Director of her clothing line.
She used the opportunity to wish all Ghanaians a happy Independence Day and urged them to patronise ‘Made in Ghana’ goods.

VINTAGE dresses are making a strong comeback in the fashion world as more women embrace timeless designs that combine elegance and a touch of jewellery.
Once regarded as old-fashioned, vintage dresses are now becoming fashionable choices for women who want to stand out from the crowd.
Fashion enthusiasts are particularly drawn to vintage pieces because of their uniqueness. Unlike mass-produced outfits that are often seen everywhere, vintage dresses offer wearers the opportunity to create a distinctive look while expressing their personality.
Vintage dresses are also versatile; they can be worn to weddings, parties, church services, social gatherings or even casual outings, depending on how they are styled. Pairing them with modern shoes, a handbag or simple jewellery can give the outfit a fresh and contemporary appearance.
Vintage fashion therefore proves that style does not always have to mean following the latest trend. Sometimes, the most fashionable statement is found in the beauty of the past.
