Ghana: Designers Turn Fast Fashion Waste Into Wearable Art | Firstpost Africa

In Accra, Ghana, secondhand clothing from the West floods markets like Kantamanto, but much of it ends up as waste, polluting beaches and waterways. The Or Foundation’s Owo Festival, showcasing upcycled fashion made from discarded garments, is a bold response to this growing environmental crisis. With designers transforming textile waste into stylish, sustainable pieces, the event highlights the need to address the destructive cycle of fast fashion and its impact on Africa. As Ghana’s beaches fill with textile debris, initiatives like the Owo Festival offer a glimmer of hope, turning waste into creativity and raising awareness about the global consequences of overconsumption.
