The much-anticipated ‘Dress
Code’ fashion event will finally be hitting the fashion industry this July, where young designers will be given the
opportunity to showcase their talent.
The show was scheduled to
take off some months ago but organizers, The Domain, had to postpone the event to
a subsequent date with the aim of presenting a standard class show.
On July 20 the event will be
held in grand style with many fashion aficionados passing through.
The ‘Dress Code’ fashion
event is aimed at promoting the local fashion and the textiles industries.
Organizers said ten fashion
illustrators from five of the nation’s polytechnic fashion departments had been
selected through auditions. They would use illustrations to design
trendy garments, using our local fabrics.
They will be mentored by
experienced designers like the legend Kofi Ansah, Kwasi Nti, Yvonne Exclusive
and many others.
This will also help to raise
the falling standards in polytechnic institutions and also bring a healthy
competition among the students to increase the creativity level in the fashion
industry.
“It is a platform for exploring and creating more jobs, while aiming at sustaining the local industry (the textile industry). It is a national duty for all to help fight. There are too many foreign products on our market. It is killing our businesses,” Mercy Takyie, CEO of The Domain stated in a press statement yesterday.
