I Wear African
Young Ghanaian Designer, Sheila Denanyoh to bring fun and flirty looks to the 'I Wear African' Runway
Sheila Denanyoh is a young self taught fashion designer that resides in Westerville, Ohio. She’s originally from Ghana and currently a senior at the Kent State University studying Interior Design. Denanyoh loves the arts and has had a passion for designing since she was 9 years old. She founded Ill-la-la Designs in 2008 and has since used this outlet of expression to help bring change to Africa through the Looks for Books Foundation. Denanyoh’s Ill-la-la Designs has been in shows at universities throughout the state of Ohio. She also participated in the Green and Gorgeous Fashion show in D.C and provided wardrobe for the contestants of the Miss Liberia Ohio Pageant.
What we can expect at the “I Wear African” Runway Show
“I will be showing pieces from my latest collection called ‘Tubgedje’ which means ‘Lady’ in the Ewe language spoken in Ghana. The clothes in this time inspired collection reflect a girl’s maturity into a woman while still maintaining the essence of being a girl. It’s partly fun and flirty and partly reserved and unspoken.” – Sheila Denanyoh
