Ghana Model Stories
Ghanaian based Fashion model Engracia who has walked many runways and served as the perfect muse for dozens of designers and photographers surprised her followers late last week when she decided to unveil her new look below.
The long-legged fashionista published a short video showing a new natural unmade up look of her fully bald head. Prior to this, the model had experimented with various hairdos and various weaves to her most recent blonde dyed short look as seen below.
However, none expected her or any model of that nature to go fully bald especially in Ghana. The bold move occured during times where going bald is not common for ladies in Ghana, not models in the industry as a whole. As a matter of fact, there is probably only a handful of models worldwide that are bald, and hardly any iconic black that went bald with the exception of Grace Jones who only did so in the latter stages of her career.
Engracia marks the 2nd renowned Ghanaian model to go fully bald, following Felivian who recently returned back to modeling.

There is no telling if this is another experimental look by the model, however, what is most interesting would be to see if this could inspire more models and ladies to embrace if she is able to feminize the look. In many cases, the bald head usually is a perfect setting for the androgynous ladies of the world, however Engracia may just put a twist to that.
UPCOMING TOP EVENTS!
CANEX WKND, presented by African Export Import Bank (Afreximbank) in partnership with the Government of Côte d’Ivoire will be a 3 – day gathering of creatives from across Africa and the diaspora in Abidjan between 25 – 27 November 2022.
Ghana’s leading fashion event Accra Fashion Week is scheduled for 7-11 December 2022 following their 5th-year celebration last year in 2021. Accra Fashion Week is a platform for African designers that can be compared to fashion weeks across the major capitals. It aims to fill the void which sees tremendous creativity and culture across the continent with the absence of an operating fashion infrastructure.
The epic event took place at Ghana Dubai in Accra, and saw models march down the steps from the Kwame Nkrumah Monument whilst being followed by a spotlight, before circulating the central fountains. Memories of the exciting night still give chills as guests revisit the experience on youtube.
However, rest assured that 2022 is going to be even more exciting with greater performances and an upgraded designer collection. FashionGHANA.com is sure to bring you the exclusives we did on www.FashionGHANA.com/TV. All last year’s shows are available to watch on youtube. Designer’s registration is ongoing on the AccraFashionWeek.org website.
As we embark on another year of celebrating African culture, our theme for 2022 is “Afrofuturism.” This term was created to explore the developing intersection of cultural aesthetic, philosophy of science, and philosophy of history as it relates to the African Diaspora. During this year’s events, Afrochella will bring “Afrofuturism” to life through fashion, food, art and music. In 2019, the African Diaspora returned home to the continent for the “Year of Return.” This year, we will explore the endless possibilities of what “Afrofuturism” could look like in 2022 and beyond.
