IN the grand halls of Ghana’s political stage, Vice President Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang has redefined what it means to dress for leadership.
Her fashion is not mere adornment, it is a deliberate statement of heritage, authority, and modern elegance.
At her swearing-in ceremony, she captivated the nation in an outfit designed by Ghanaian fashion icon Joyce Ababio. The ensemble was more than fabric; it was a tapestry of creativity, national pride, and symbolism.
By choosing a local designer, she underscored her commitment to Ghanaian artistry and the power of Made-in-Ghana fashion.
Her style identity blends regal African prints with tailored sophistication — flowing Kente-inspired gowns, structured jackets, and carefully chosen accessories to create a balance between authority and femininity.
Each outfit speaks a language of cultural pride, reminding the world that leadership can be both powerful and beautifully Ghanaian.
For young women watching, her fashion is aspirational. It says you can lead with intellect and grace, and you can wear your culture proudly.
Adiza Ibrahim, is proving what it means to be a modern style icon in Ghana. By day, she commands corporate rooms as a top marketing executive as well as a fashion consultant, boutique owner, and lifestyle strategist.
Her signature looks proves that modesty and high fashion belong on the same runway. She has consistently demonstrated elegance, confidence and a refined sense of fashion in both modern and traditional style.
Adiza is not just a consumer of fashion; she is a critic and an educator. She actively pushes local designers to elevate their craft.
For her, fashion is a tool that demonstrate your cultural identity and make you hold onto your national pride.

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.
