MEET THE DESIGNERS: MUHIRE, FASHION CANTE & SHERAH #AFWL2019

Muhire could be best described as a fusion between European influences, master craft and African culture and tribal aesthetics. The silhouettes celebrate contradictions and similarities between the past and the future and the strength of Fashion crossbreeding. The intention to create her own brand was mostly to co-create quality and unique items with Belgian and Romanian artisans who have mastered their craft for generations.

Fashion Cante was created in 2013. In 2015 received the Award for Best African Designer from UMOA, Best Guinea-Bissau designer in Portugal in 2018. Represented Guinea-Bissau in African Fashion week in Ghana, Gambia, Conacre fashion festival, in Hamburg and Luxembourg International Festival of Fashion Africa, and in Morocco in 2018. His collection has been used to dress Miss Guinea-Bissau Portugal, Luxembourg and Miss Universe in Guinea-Bissau.

SHERAH (the phonetic spelling of the Twi word for “bless”) was launched in 2018 and has been producing a versatile range of apparel. From men to women and children of all ages and calibre, SHERAH has a vast array of clothing and accessories to meet their diverse needs, budgets and preferences. The designs are all-embracing, with everyday wear alongside bridal and swimwear.
