When it comes to making a statement through fashion, Nana Akua Addo rarely misses. But this latest look by designer Chinasa Martins of Nasa Martins may be one of her most patriotic yet.
Stepping out ahead of Ghana’s highly anticipated football action, the style icon transformed herself into a walking celebration of the Black Stars with a bold ensemble drenched in the nation’s iconic colours. The outfit features a fiery red cropped leather jacket paired with dramatically oversized red trousers, while vibrant bands of green and gold wrap around the waistline, instantly evoking the Ghanaian flag.
The look is unapologetically loud, confident and futuristic, yet fashion lovers will instantly spot the heavy influence of 1990s streetwear culture. From the exaggerated wide-leg trousers and cropped jacket silhouette to the sporty attitude and oversized visor shades, the outfit feels like a modern remix of the golden era of hip-hop fashion. Nasa Martins has become known for injecting nostalgic elements into contemporary African fashion, and this look does exactly that while keeping its eyes firmly on the future.
Adding further drama, Nana Akua accessorised with a chunky silver cross necklace, statement eyewear and a matching red spherical handbag that complements the powerful monochromatic base. The green and gold accents running through the outfit prevent the look from becoming one-dimensional, instead turning it into a stylish tribute to national pride.
With football fever building and supporters preparing to rally behind Ghana, Nana Akua’s outfit proves that backing your nation doesn’t have to stop at waving a flag. Sometimes, the flag becomes the fashion.
