Ghanaian fashion icon Nana Akua Addo has revealed that her goal on the red carpet is always to be unique, different, and unforgettable.
Known for consistently making bold statements at major red-carpet events, Nana Akua shared in an interview on 3FM what goes into designing her eye-catching looks.
According to her, the goal is always to stand out and offer something new.
She explained that she takes time to research past looks and focuses on introducing fresh ideas and techniques to the red carpet.
“To be unique, to be different, and also to stand out, you want to go back to previous looks, see what hasn’t been done, what people haven’t seen. I always like to introduce something new, a new technique in terms of sewing, in terms of intricacy in fashion and design,” she stated.
Nana Akua Addo added that one of her biggest fears is showing up in an outfit someone else is wearing. For this reason, she and her team plan meticulously to ensure that her look is exclusive.
“I always pray that I never show up on the red carpet and see someone else wearing my look. These are things we carefully plan for,” she said.
She also pointed to Nigeria as an example of a country where red-carpet creativity is taken to another level. She explained that whenever she prepares for events there, she feels the need to go the extra mile because the standard is so high.
“That’s the reason it seems like I go beyond, because when you’re going to Nigeria, the red carpet creativity is unmatched,” she added.
