Ho Polytechnic holds fashion show

Ho, Aug. 01, GNA - Mr. Mawutor Wovenu of the Fashion Department of Ho Polytechnic has called on government to support graduates in fashion and design to establish their businesses. This way "the government would be promoting domestic entrepreneurship and cut down on importation of foreign clothing" he said. Mr Wovenu made the call at this year's fashion show by the Department dubbed, "Dynamic Outlook". It was in partial fulfilment for the award of the Higher National Diploma Certificate in Fashion Design and Modelling. Mr Wovenu said fashion is a high potential growth sector, which could create jobs and income for potential practitioners when supported. He appealed to young people to develop interest in studying Fashion to develop their "personality". Mrs Selorm Gbetodeme, Dean of Art and Design of the Department, said there is hope for fashion in Ghana. Sixteen final year students showcased designs.
