The ZediCross love story

e
Several years ago, when local Ghanaian prints where only seen on the skin of mums and grand ma’s, Zedi was born. Zedi was to change the image of local fabric to young Ghanaian girls and also to show them that beautiful clothes could be made in the country, Ghana. Zedi showed the fusion of real wax prints and other foreign fabric such as demin, cotton, lycra and chiffon. After several activities including a Kiddy fashion show at Soul Clinic International School, Zedi drifted away.

Cross was born a few years before Zedi and dwelled on the fusion of cultures all over the world. Cross aimed to bridge the global gap between continents with fashion. The rare representation of shapes and colours made Cross famous but just like Zedi; its creator had a change of bearing. 

After almost five years Zedi met Cross and they fell in love. Not only did they agree on the nature of fashion in Ghana, they complimented each other. Their first offspring was a photo shoot. The union was launched on Facebook and the response was amazing. The clothes from both sides were displayed and the message of Made-In-Ghana with a universal touch was sent across as well as the creation of a fashion family. Within less than a year ZediCross took part in two fashion shows and a fair. The clothing line got more publicity when it launched a new collection called the Statement Collection. This collection showcased clothes for various personalities and personal interests with an edgy touch.  Their recent collection, Essence tells the whole world how far they have come and how far they intend to go.

ZediCross continues to grow to put Ghanaian clothes on the international fashion scene like never before. ZediCross believes in culture, family and most of all unique style. Just like every fairy tale, ZediCross lives and will continue to live happily ever after.

ZediCross




Hi it's me again, lol. For the past seven months (since October) a couple of friends and I have been working on a fashion project. It was obvious we all like fashion and the idea of being able to create. Fashion design has been my interest for I don't even know how long and I realized it was about time I put my all (or close to it) into it. We came up with the name ZEDICROSS. This is a fusion of two, ideas, worlds, cultures and even genders. Zedi is my part which is part of my middle name Azedi. Cross is my current partners idea. He got the name cross from 'Jesus on a cross'. These two, Zedi and Cross lived individually several years ago, but now are one item.

Our clothes are creative in their own right. We gather ideas and inspiration from all over the world and display it in our works. The Ghanaian influence is very strong though and we are very proud of this. We produce clothes and accessories for both both genders such as shirts, trousers, skirts, dresses, bracelets, bags and earrings. We are hoping to have a complete range of clothes soon and are working very hard towards it.

We have been quite lucky to be part of a number of fashion shows in Accra, Ghana. These shows were very enlightening and exciting to be part of. We work harder and harder each day to make our dreams come true and it seems with the help of God we will get there.

We don't see ourselves as just designers who make clothes for sale but people who want to start a fashion family and all our fans feel just that!
