Life in Ghana
During her travel through Ghana Angelica Troncone documented daily life in Accra.
As a stylist, she has a special eye on fashion of the African country. Against her expectations Angelica says: “Fashion in Accra tends to bow to capitalism, offering counterfeits both in the stores and on the poor streets, full of unfulfilled desires to resemble famous people who are almost considered gods in the eyes of young dreamers searching for fame.”
The most important style feature to complete an outfit for many people in Accra is the matching hairstyle. Wigs of any kind and color are available everywhere – You need to be able to change your look every day! This passion for hair makes hairdressers in Accra a lucrative job. “Braids of all kinds from natural mono-colored to colorful ones with beads allow you to make your personality stand out and make perfect combinations to meet friends at the mall or go to the beach to celebrate your best friend's birthday.”, says Angelica.
Pink, pink, pink is without doubt the favorite color of the girls in Accra, you can see it on the signs of the fashion market, on the walls of the salons, on the sexy night outfits, on the bottles of rosé – All the way to the 7 o'clock evening sky. Marked by romantic soft pink and the usual endless swarm of bats that seek shelter here for the night.
Drugs are not wanted, but everyone secretly carries a marijuana joint for the beach, what could go wrong? If you do not expose yourself to the risk of death penalty.
