Most Ghanaian fashion designers are venturing into making customised clothing for renowned personalities of diverse backgrounds.
One of the top designers who is gaining poplularity in Ghana and internationally, is Nicholas Asamoah known as Nicholine GH.
Over the years, Nicholine GH has styled television personalities, movie stars, models and people of influence in Ghana and across the globe on a daily basis.
The Chief Executive Officer of Nicholine GH, for the past three years, has been creating stunning designs for Mrs Gifty Adorye known in showbiz circles as Empress Gifty.
“Mrs Adorye is very selective about what she wears and sometimes decides not to wear things she does not like when it is sewn for her” he stated.
He said that some styling were based on orders made while some were also made for the celebrity to publicise his or her clothing line.
Mr Asamoah appealed to government to support the fashion industry and encourage the sector to do more because they were making great patterns, and great finishing which could be compared to the foreign clothing.
On the other hand, Mrs Adorye said Nicholine GH made her to stand out during events and had contributed to her winning a lot of awards as the stylish artiste since 2017 on different award schemes.
“I decided to work with Nicoline GH because I believe in supporting young talents and he is one of them. His dedication towards his work, creativity and above all trust to deliver within the stipulated time” she told this reporter.

Final-year students of the Accra Technical University (ATU) Department of Fashion Design and Textile Technology on Friday showcased their creativity and craftsmanship in Accra.
The annual event held under the theme: ‘Wear Your Culture: Tradition Meets Modernity,’ saw 366 students showcased various designs as part of their final year practical work.
Dean of the Faculty of Applied Arts, Professor George Agyei Osei, explained that the exhibition provided students with an opportunity to demonstrate the skills and competencies they have acquired throughout their training.
Vice Dean of the Faculty of Arts and former Head of Department of Fashion and Textile Technology, Dr Mrs Emma Donkor, said this year’s cohort comprised 366 students, with each student producing four designs, one of which was exhibited at the school’s auditorium while three were presented during the fashion show.
Mrs Donkor encouraged graduating students to build their businesses gradually, noting that a sewing machine and a small workspace could provide the foundation for a successful fashion enterprise.
One of the graduating students, Philipa Adu, said the theme was a reminder to designers not to blindly imitate Western fashion at the expense of African culture.
