However, his latest collection showcased at Accra Fashion Week 2019 Summer Harmattan proved that Abass is really pushing the trend of men in skirts amongst his audience. Watch the video below. When we asked what was the motive behind his skirt revolution, he replied “Men of Power have worn skirts for a long time, even if you study the Egyptian pharaohs. Also if you look at most of the Muslim culture, the kaftans menswear to the Akans who were wraps. In fact, men not wearing skirts is something that was introduced to us by the west. Let’s embrace our freedom” When asked about how the homophobic end of Africa will react to it he replied “If you are a man you are a man! People know when a gay man wears a skirt and when a man wears a skirt”. The designer also acknowledged all the skirt pieces produced after his Accra Fashion Week show have been sold out and his company is in the process of producing more.
