Tamale embraces a new fashion scene at Trends Runway Show
A powerful creative shift took place in Tamale over the weekend, where fashion, culture, and youth converged to redefine the city’s identity.
TrendsRunwayShow celebrated its fifth anniversary, a milestone that confirms Tamale’s growing presence on Ghana’s fashion map and signals a bold, new era for the northern region’s creative economy.
This year’s edition, themed “Freedom of Expression,” granted designers full creative liberty to explore identity, heritage, and modern style.
Eight designers and one stylist showcased collections ranging from culturally infused silhouettes to experimental contemporary designs that captivated audiences across the city.
The runway brought together 25 male and female models, many of whom rely on the show as a stepping stone due to limited access to opportunities in Accra and other southern cities.

On the stage of the National Science and Maths Quiz (NSMQ), intellect reigns supreme. Yet, year after year, audiences find themselves equally captivated by the fashion sense of the Quiz mistress, Prof. Elsie Effah Kaufmann.
Whether in bold geometric patterns or softer floral motifs, her outfits radiate confidence and cultural pride. She has become a fashion icon in her own right, proving that academia and elegance can coexist seamlessly.
Prof. Kaufmann’s consistency has turned her wardrobe into part of the NSMQ brand. Students and fans eagerly anticipate her next look, knowing it will be as dazzling as her intellect.
By spotlighting local fabrics and designers, she champions Ghana’s fashion industry while inspiring young women to embrace both STEM and style.
Her fashion is not just about beauty; it is about representation. On a stage where knowledge is celebrated, she reminds us that culture, creativity, and intellect are intertwined.
She is proof that one can be both a scholar and a style icon, and that African print is as fitting in the lecture hall as it is on the runway.
