CEO of Accra Fashion Week Nana Tamakloe and the visionary mind behind Africa’s leading fashion blog, FashionGHANA.com has been invited to Russia to represent Ghana as a participant and a speaker at the ongoing BRICS Fashion Summit.

The summit, hosted under the umbrella of Moscow Fashion Week, kicked off its proceedings on November 28 and is set to wrap up on December 2.

Tamakloe, known for his groundbreaking approach that has transformed the African fashion scene, is well-acquainted with recognition. In 2012, he pioneered the continent’s leading fashion blog and subsequently introduced the highly acclaimed Accra Fashion Week, consistently pushing boundaries to set new trends and redefine conventional fashion standards.

Last year, Tamakloe received global recognition when he graced the stage at the Memphis In May Festival in the USA, after he was invited to America with other luminaries like King Otumfuo Osei Tutu ii, Stonebwoy, and Okyeame Kwame.

This global recognition spoke volumes about his impact on Ghanaian culture and now, he’s bringing that influence to Russia at the BRICS Fashion Summit.

Organized under the umbrella of Moscow Fashion Week, the BRICS Fashion Summit has evolved into a gathering of influential figures in the fashion realm. Editors, event coordinators, delegates from renowned publications, apparel experts, bloggers, educators, and up-and-coming designers from across the globe have convened, fostering an environment brimming with creativity and cooperative spirit.

Originally synchronized with Moscow Fashion Week, the BRICS Fashion Summit is more than just a stylish rendezvous; it’s a strategic endeavor to cultivate the ethos of the BRICS Fashion community. Stemming from the BRICS—an intergovernmental organization uniting Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—the fashion community aims to redefine the industry’s dynamics.

The BRICS Fashion Summit goes beyond geographical boundaries, attracting participants from more than 30 countries in a cross-cultural celebration of style. From the trendy streets of China or the lively landscapes of Nigeria, this summit serves as a worldwide gathering for sartorial excellence.

Tamakloe goes beyond the usual participant’s role; he’s on a mission to not only experience but actively mold the narrative of the BRICS Fashion Summit, ensuring that Ghana’s impact is substantial. His goal is to take a leading role in shaping the BRICS Fashion community, positioning Ghana as a vital contributor to the global fashion dialogue. Other notable Ghanaian attendees include researcher Makeba L. Boateng and Nana Brenu.

The BRICS Fashion Summit transcends a mere convergence of intellects; it transforms into a dynamic runway where diverse cultures intersect, and fashion resonates on a worldwide scale. At the forefront of Ghana’s fashion narrative, Tamakloe spearheads the movement towards a fashion-forward future.
