Fashion Designs 2011
Afriyie Frimpong is gradually making her KNAF Couture
clothing line a household name in Ghana and eventually
across the continent. As a graduate of the International
Academy of Design with a bachelor’s degree in Fashion
Design, Afriyie’s highly stylish, custom-made and original
clothes are designed to accentuate the female figure;
and to compliment the male build or to make them look
twice at any woman wearing the signature piece.
Afriyie is a complete fashion talent; she sketches, drapes, makes
her own patterns and sews. She derives much of her inspiration
from Ghana’s rich culture and abundant textiles. With her
experience as an intern for Anna Sui, as well as her participation
in the designer’s showing at New York Fashion week Afriyie is
certainly poised for greatness in the fashion world.
Though her company is still up and coming, KNAF Couture has
garnered a large following and has been notably featured in
numerous runway shows across the United States. These include
the No Limit Fashion Show in Florida as well the DC Fashion
Week in both ‘06 and ‘07. What’s more, KNAF Couture was the
featured designer at the World Bank Group, Fair Trade
Fashion Show in Washington DC, in addition to the Ghana
50th Anniversary Tribute Fashion Display at the Ghanaian
Embassy. Her collections have been showcased through
various media outlets such as; The ABC evening news, the
Tampa Tribune, Washington Post, The Express and the
New Ghanaian to name a few.
