Ozwald Boateng
You’ll find after clicking through this slideshow that clearly we love fashion ’round these parts. Designer Ozwald Boateng is the child of Ghanian parents but was born and raised in Britain. His mother, who worked in the fabric trade in Ghana, came to Britain and became a seamstress. Her work in clothing and the double breasted purple mohair suit she bought him as a child definitely inspired Boateng to get into designing clothes. Since then, Boateng opened a boutique in London, dropped a women’s fragrance, was creative director of menswear at Givenchy, has been heavily involved in film work (even designing costumes for shows like “Ugly Betty” and movies like “Sex and the City” and “The Matrix), and did a little somethin’ somethin’ for his Ghana by orchestrating a show at the 9th Annual African Union Summit in Accra in 2007.
