Tetteh Adzedu’s work is concerned with the preservation and reappraisal of African clothing traditions and the adaptation of these traditions to create contemporary fashion. He was trained first as a tailor and then as a fashion designer. His label ‘Adzedu of Shapes’ reflects his passion for aesthetics. He has a keen eye for technique but does not lose sight of the social dimensions of clothing. He is committed to the promotion of fashion in Africa and to the achievement of a healthy economic position for the fashion sector. This is manifested in his work as a teacher of young talent, in his position as Chairman of the Ghana Fashion Designers Association and in his achievements relating to fashion export.
