David Kusi Boyedoe launches Oath collection for Spring 2027
Ghanaian designer David Kusi Boyedoe unveiled his Spring 2027 collection titled Oath, which draws inspiration from the Asante Kingdom and utilizes upcycled denim.
Design focuses on heritage
The collection is heavily influenced by the dynamic relationship between an Asante King and an Asante man. Boyedoe stated that the work represents a return to ideology aimed at restoring traditional silhouettes for the modern world.
Materials come from waste
Most pieces are handmade by local artisans in Ghana using upcycled denim sourced from textile waste dumped there. Standout items include a mini patchwork dress and barrel jeans paired with an off-white blazer.
Goal is commercial sales
The designer emphasized that the collection avoids spectacle in favor of designs that sell to the Western market. This approach counters the common perception that African fashion lacks commercial viability or relies solely on bold experimentation.
