Air France Madame
Date
November 01, 2017
Accra, Cité du cool
Flying high, Elle Lokko was spotlighted in Air France Madame, the luxury in-flight magazine for First and Business Class travellers. The feature presented founder Stefania Manfreda as a curator of the very best in West African fashion — from AAKS’s handwoven baskets and Osei Duro’s batik silhouettes to labels like Monaa, Raffia, and Threaded Tribes, alongside talent from across the continent.
The article highlighted Elle Lokko’s vision as more than retail: a deliberate, almost political act of curation. By giving Ghanaians and the wider world a reason to consume African, and proudly so, Elle Lokko underscored the rise of a new generation of designers transforming heritage textiles and craft into globally relevant, hyper-modern style.
