4.9K In a move that has stunned both political and fashion circles alike, the President of Ghana has officially pledged to make a historic appearance on the catwalk at the inaugural edition of Ghana Fashion Week. The unexpected announcement came during a press briefing on national creative industry development, where the President highlighted the government’s renewed commitment to the fashion and arts sectors. In a light yet confident tone, the President stated: “It’s time we not only support Ghanaian fashion from the sidelines but become part of the moment. I look forward to walking that runway with pride — in Ghanaian-made fashion.” This promise marks a bold and unprecedented move — one that bridges the gap between governance and culture, and reinforces the role of fashion as a significant part of Ghana’s identity and global image. The President’s participation is expected to draw significant media attention, not just locally but across the continent and the diaspora, spotlighting Ghana’s vibrant and ever-evolving fashion industry. While few details have been revealed about what he will wear or who will style him, sources close to the event organizers hint at a custom ensemble by one of Ghana’s top design houses. Fashion insiders are already speculating which designer will have the honour of dressing the nation’s leader — a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The announcement adds to the growing excitement surrounding the first-ever Ghana Fashion Week, a new entry into the country’s fashion calendar that promises to rival long-standing Accra Fashion Week. With high-profile designers, international buyers, and now the President himself preparing to grace the event, Ghana Fashion Week is shaping up to be a defining moment for the industry.
