Fashion Roundup: Ghana Girls Living the HighLife

by Karkay Adrienne Tingba · August 5, 2019

My Pipo yor hello ooh! E Ti S3n? That’s Twi for “how are you?” Get the memo? Well, if you have not yet caught on, we are bringing you all a very special style roundup today – so special that we had to take it across oceans to the Gold Coast.

As Ghana celebrates its Founders Day today, we are reflecting on the many amazing African fashion moments that started, and can be found there . For example, the Ghanaian traditional cloth, Kente cloth, has grown over the years to become one of the most recognizable patterns that is associated with the entire African continent. This success is not only because the cloth is as beautiful as it looks full of wealth, but also because Ghanaians have inserted the cloth into their culture as symbols of royalty, marriage, and tradition, thus providing a connection to their culture through fashion.

While we continue our style dreams of branding the Liberian country cloth in a similar fashion, let’s cross oceans to our family in Ghana, where style and authenticity has been passed on through generations of cultural traditions. As we gear up for a week of content fit for a #TwiDialogue, we are beginning with a roundup of some excitable Ghanaian girls living the highlife through fashion and style. Continue below for our first cross-border style roundup.
