Lots of people are of the opinion that a beautiful and elegant fashion piece must break the bank. Although several clothing pieces actually do break the bank, there are also well-crafted garments that are at affordable prices.
You can say that affordability is relative to people, but so is fashion. The slow sale of clothing in an environment with fewer elites may not be due to its astronomical price tag; it may sometimes be due to the visual composition of the dress – perhaps it’s not in resonance with the residents of the vicinity.
So, how does a fashion designer who cares about inclusivity bring all different levels of purchasing power under one roof? The secret is embedded in how this designer can balance material with style—in other words, crafting great styles from less expensive materials. Several fashion designers in Ghana have acquired their respective ways of inclusivity, where price tags and style operate on a level ground. Polange Couture is one such fashion designer.
Polange Couture is a ready-to-wear fashion brand founded in Accra, Ghana, in 2016. The brand was founded with a mission to become the market leader in delivering African fashion at a great pace to women across Africa at affordable prices. Polange Couture is also dedicated to boosting the West African trade and labour market, and to this effect, all fabrics are locally sourced, and the clothes are designed and produced at their factories.
In 2020, Polange Couture opened a third flagship store in the heart of Lekki, Lagos, Nigeria. This fashion brand thinks that every woman can become a style icon without breaking the bank, and this is why the brand makes trend-led, affordable fashion pieces which embody the stylish everyday woman.
Polange Couture aims to make fashion attainable to every woman and, with the aid of great fashion designs, boost the confidence of women and make them feel special in their dresses.
To this effect, Polange Couture works with an in-house team of incredibly talented illustrators, designers, and tailors. The creativity and success of this brand are backed by the founder, Stephen Opoku Boateng.
Stephen Opoku-Boateng is a genius at studying fashion market trends and making clothing pieces that flow in the direction of the market and resonate brilliantly with potential customers. He is all about creating dresses that put a smile on the faces of modern women.
This brand creates pieces that can take you from every day to the runway, board meetings, or even something as simple as drinks with your girls on a Friday night. This 2021 Boateng collection is a testament to the creative abilities of Polange Couture.
This is one of the beautiful fashion pieces of the 2021 Boateng Collections. It is fashionable, attractive, and elegant. This fashion piece exudes confidence and finesse. It’s a feel-good clothing piece and will fill a woman with happiness.
It is a one-piece outfit with a round neck. You could call it sleeveless, but there is a puff at the place where the sleeves should be. This style at the sleeve area looks like a combination of pleats at an unusual point of the dress, but it flows agreeably with the garment, giving the dress additional beauty.
The chest area to the abdomen is without any special design. The dress is slightly tightened at the abdomen area, but then afterwards, it unfurls largely at the thigh to the knee area. Also, the area beneath the abdomen spreads out in slight folds that resemble pleats.
The hues combine well together. There are no dominant colours, as each hue maps out patterns and shapes in the garment. We have blue, burnt yellow and a dark shade of bluish-grey. The right combination of these colours uplifts the beauty of the outfit.
This dress shows intentionality in its visual composition. It seems to be purposely made to make the 21st-century woman feel good and confident.
