TeKay Designs showcased their spring 2017 collection at the first Africa Union fashion business summit in Addis Ababa. The award winning fashion brand’s “Pride of Liberia” collection consisted of Liberian made country cloth which is hand-woven with threads from cotton farms in Liberia, Ankara and tie-dye fabrics. The outfits were accompanied by matching Liberian made accessories.

According to the founder of the TeKay Designs Kimma Wreh, the event was an opportunity for Liberia to promote its fashion industry, culture and tourism. And the event brought together people from different walks of life who learned about Liberia’s fashion sector and purchased Liberian made products. The sales were strong and the attendees were quite impressed with Liberian made products.

The gala fashion event was attended by more than 600 selected VIPs including ambassadors, corporate CEOs and top government officials. And the summit featured designers from around the African continent.
