Friday saw the beginning of the very first Ghana Fashion & Design Week. The first show started three hours after the scheduled time, due to technical difficulties, but was it worth the wait? Simply put, yes; there was a collection made entirely out if hair, of course it was worth it.

Audrey Hepburn meets Rene Magritte. That was the brief, in a nutshell, of VDP’s spring 2013 presentation at Milan fashion week. The oversized black hats and sunglasses were the classic screen star – but here she was exploring her surrealist side.
