Indigenous fashion entrepreneur, Henry Kweku Ghartey known as JayRay Ghartey at the just ended Glitz African fashion Week 2019 stunned patrons with the display of his Castle Black collections. The collections were inspired by the popular UK TV series ‘Game Of Thrones’ at the Kempinski Hotel.
Among a dozen of revered designers crisscrossing Africa, ”JayRay Ghartey FashionHauz,” his brand name was tipped to give patrons a wowzer experience as his models hit the runway.
Living up to, and above expectations, he re-lived the suspense, spontaneity and entertainment the series Game of Thrones brought us and melded that into his showcase.With-it came heartwarming comments from attendees who confessed his choreography and craft captured their attention as he inspired confidence with indigenous Ghananain made caftan’s - the best they have seen thus far - on the runway, something they have missed on the Glitz stage for a long time.
Edge cutting designs were put front and centre, as models wore them with pride and graced the runway, but the tipping point was when he brought out veteran models whose appearance threw the audience into a frenzy as they could not hold their hands than to slap them together among cheers and shouts.
It got more intense when respectable celebrities; Adjetey Annan, John Dumelo, Okyeame Kwame and Nathaniel Attoh who were adorned with some of his very best designs hit the runway looking superlative.
The designer who for the past three years has built a brand out of cutting fabrics and stitching them together currently runs one of Ghana’s most trusted wear.
The brand has been focused on making exciting clothes with fit-for-purpose designs that gave it relevance and shone in recent times, even more sharply now that consumers themselves are increasingly selective about what’s worth buying and what will have longevity in their wardrobes.
