An emerging Ghanaian fashion brand, Selsam Couture, is steadily carving a niche for itself in the country’s growing fashion industry with bold contemporary designs inspired by nature, creativity and modern elegance.
Founded by young designer Samuel Dadzie, the unisex designs combine African and western fashion to create outfits suitable for weddings, red carpet events and other special occasions.
Selsam Couture has collaborated with notable personalities and platforms including Crik Studios, Miss World Guinea, Queen Afriyie of Ghana’s Most Beautiful (GMB) 2020 and Miss Supranational, further strengthening its presence within the fashion and entertainment space.
Its recently designed ‘3D Glitz and Glam,’ for the TGMA 2024 red carpet, featured intricate pearls and crystal embellishments inspired by the global 3D fashion trend.
A vibrant celebration of Ghanaian culture and heritage lit up Accra on Friday, as this year’s Kaba and Slit Festival brought tradition, elegance and a nostalgic touch of old-school fashion to life.
Now in its fourth edition and themed: ‘Old School Kaba and Slit Meets Batakari,’ the festival attracted a diverse crowd, young and old, men and women from all walks of life, who made bold fashion statements in eye-catching traditional attire.
While many of the men showcased the rich, textured Fugu (Batakari), the women dazzled in a wide range of Kaba and Slit styles, blending classic designs with modern interpretations. The result was a colourful display of creativity and cultural pride.
Beyond fashion, the event featured a variety of engaging activities, including dance and modelling competitions, a Kaba and Slit parade, and live sewing demonstrations. Vendors also offered a wide selection of food, clothing and household items, creating a lively marketplace atmosphere for patrons.
Organised by Roots Africa, the festival aims to preserve and promote Ghanaian culture through the iconic Kaba and Slit, renowned for its vibrant prints and distinctive designs.
Speaking after the event, the Founder of Roots Africa, Mrs Deborah Kabutey-Djisah, popularly known as Manye Korngo, expressed gratitude to attendees, sponsors and the organising team for their contributions to the festival’s success.
She added that the strong turnout and enthusiasm from diverse groups continue to drive the festival’s growth.
