Nana Addo Tamakloe, a renowned name in the Ghanaian fashion scene, continues to elevate the industry with his forward-thinking approach and influence. His contributions to fashion were recently recognized at the prestigious BRICS+ Fashion Summit, held from the 3rd to the 5th of October 2024 in Moscow, Russia.
