10 Days To Go Before The Prestigious Ghana Fashion Awards; But Is It Worth The Hype?

Its only 10 days left and the fashion world of Ghana is on it’s toes. Those who have been glued to their tvs will be fully aware the Ghana Fashion Awards 2015 will be happening shortly, and would also have seen short clips of the various nomineees speaking on their brands and businesses on eTV every Friday.

Outside of the fashion awards that have taken place in various shows, Ghana Fashion Awards took place as the first fashion related award event to take place in Ghana. Since then, there has been a rise of other award events and the list goes as follows. Fashion Icons Awards, Glitz Style Awards, Ghana Model Awards, Afro Model Agency Awards and Ghana Photography Awards. The last two which are still yet to be executed. So the question is, is GFA worth the hype.

To answer the question, yes. So far, there has been little to no criticism of their choice of nominees, however it would have been lovely to have seen a stylist of the year award, as well as separate categories for the male and female model nominees. Work by the likes of stylists such as Empress Jamilia, Kel Vincent and others, do play a vital and promising role in the years to come, and maybe it might not be too late to see this put into effect.
