Passion for Fashion Africa 2015 in New York
Passion 4 Fashion Africa is an annual event which brings together a wide range of talent in order to promote ethical fashion. Sallet Fashion House and partners Adam Group production, New York Fashion Designers Expo and CCWC Network Corps are bringing Passion 4 Fashion Africa to the catwalk in New York this September.
Sallet’s own fashion house brand Oheemaa, will also showcase its designs – along with other African designers who take the opportunity to show their wares via this international platform in the USA.
Based in Ghana, Sallet Fashion House has managed to gain support from a variety of government and NGOs, including Ministry of Trade and Industry (Ghana), Ministry of Tourism (Ghana) and Ghana Export Promotion Council among others.
As well as promoting African apparel, Passion 4 Fashion Africa will also put strong emphasis on the benefits of an ethical approach to fashion. Sallet Fashion House is inviting African Designers, both new and old, to sign up in order to experience this opportunity.
