The Bite Magazine - Autumn/Winter 2025 - Issue 38

bitecatwalk C ontemporary womenswear brand Ometsey, based in Ghana, West Africa, was founded by Darkwaa Edna in 2017. The brand name is tak- en from the designer’s local name, given to the firstborn girls in her tribe, Ga Adangbe. Edna uses the character- istic attributes of her local name to translate her brand’s look and design to inspire and nurture the Ometsey woman to be of substance, a leader with style and pur- pose. The designer blends classic elegance and modern sophistication with carefully selected fabrics that em- body the aesthetics of clean cuts, impeccable finishing and rare details with a minimal twist. www.instagram.com/ometseyofficial META AI T he event finale was a ground- breaking fusion of technology and style, where Meta AI part- nered with renowned Nigerian design- er Ifeanyi Nwune’s I.N.
