With the renewal of the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA), there are still advantages for individual entrepreneurial opportunities that would stimulate more trade with West African nations. "<em><span style="font-family:'times new roman', times;"><strong>Liberians need to take advantage of the AGOA act. How can Liberians turn AGOA into an opportunity?</strong></span></em>" expressed Hon. Jeremiah C. Sulunteh, (<em><span class="font-size-1">Liberian Ambassador to the US</span></em>).</td></tr></tbody></table><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><table width="718" border="0" cellspacing="10"><tbody><tr><td valign="top" width="307" height="539" align="left"><p><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://flashfox.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/flashfox.swf" width="300" height="500"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="never" ></param><param name="allowNetworking" value="internal" ></param><param name="movie" value="http://flashfox.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/flashfox.swf" ></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="false" ></param><param name="wmode" value="opaque" ></param><param name="" value="" ></param><span title="No video playback capabilities, please download the video below">Made In Liberia Products</span></object> <br /><strong>Cotton Products Manufactured in Liberia, Africa</strong></p><p><br /></p></td><td valign="top" width="377" align="left"><p>During that same Independence Day celebration, there was a fashion presentation that displayed garments manufactured in Liberia, 'The Pride of Liberia Collection' by Tekay Designs. Each garment expressed brilliant color with elegant form. The dresses were manufactured using Liberian country-cloth. A soft, hand woven cotton textile that has natural dyes applied to produce a finished print fabric or garment. There were colorful tie-dye patterns applied to several of cocktail dresses and other semi-formal attire. As the cut of the dresses have an influence from western gowns. The fashion designer introduced herself as the Liberian Fashion Ambassador, appointed by Liberia's National Tailor's Union. Ambassador Kimma Wreh was expressing the idea of Liberians not only being fashionable, but also they should invest whole-heartedly into Liberia's apparel and textile manufacturing capabilities.</p><br /><br />Ms. Wreh is the daughter of the late Counselor Tuan Wreh. He was a former Liberian Senator of Grand Kru County. He was also a Dean of the Law School at the University of Liberia. Her father authored numerous labor law books, maritime law books and is most remembered by his book titled, The Love of Liberty. As Liberia's Fashion Ambassador, Wreh's mission is to tour key cities to present 'The Pride of Liberia Collection' to bring awareness about Liberia's manufacturing capabilities in order to better position Liberia within the global fashion system. The collection has been presented in Houston Texas, Washington DC and Addis Ababa Ethiopia before the African Union. There is a scheduled appearance in Paris, France for early this November and New York Fashion Week in 2017.<p></p></td></tr></tbody></table><br />"<span class="font-size-3"><em><span style="font-family:'times new roman', times;"><strong>So, I am planning my first return trip to visit Monrovia this November, after twenty-seven years.</strong>"</span></em> <span style="font-family:'times new roman', times;"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Explains Wreh.</span></span> <em><span style="font-family:'times new roman', times;">"<strong>I plan to visit some of Liberia's apparel manufacturing facilities for producing ready-to-wear apparel. Through my non-profit organization, KDE Disability Africa Foundation, I will implement a training workshop to help Liberia's workers with disabilities enter the sewing and textile trade. Having a professional discipline is a key asset for Liberia's workforce to achieving the country's development goals. The people of Liberia are resilient, and every Liberian citizen matters in the future of Liberia's workforce."</strong></span></em> <br /><br /><span class="font-size-2" style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Wreh explains her vision further,</span> <em><span style="font-family:'times new roman', times;"><strong>"The honorable Ellen Johnson Sirleaf announced that while the market for some of Liberia's key natural resources, such as rubber and iron are now declining, the government would focus on stimulating agricultural growth and trade. Cotton... a natural resource, is agriculture. Liberia has the capability to produce cotton textiles for industrial applications, home fashions, garments and fashion accessories. There are numerous applications for the use of cotton goods. This is why I've created a contemporary fashion line with cotton garments and accessories made in Liberia.</strong>"</span></em> <br /><br /><span class="font-size-2" style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Wreh address her personal insights,</span> <strong><em><span style="font-family:'times new roman', times;">"In the United States there is uncertainty about where manufactured goods will be produced. Political candidate, Donald Trump makes a point about pulling all US manufacturing out of China because he believes the United States current trade deals among China lacks integrity. I instinctively believe now is the time for West African nations, specifically Liberia, to step up trade initiatives with the United States. As the United States moves away from being a manufacturing nation, we Liberian nationals who live in the western markets should design products and create opportunities for manufacturing in Liberia. This is the most proactive way African nationals can help Africa raise economically. Now that Liberia has joined the WTO and the AGOA is renewed, I am excited! I foresee promising opportunities back home in Monrovia.</span></em></strong></span>"<br /><br />Wreh's optimism about Liberia's role in apparel manufacturing is quite inspiring for a country that has been plagued with dooms day projections about its people. However, the reality about forging into the competitive apparel trade requires long-term economic stamina; and Wreh is seeking support. Ambassador Wreh has formed a strategic partnership between Liberia's National Tailors, Textiles, Garments and Allied Workers Union and, Excel Magazine International to help promote African fashions. Together the partners are looking to build a marketing and manufacturing cooperative with other fashion brands that wish to manufacture in Liberia, and leverage Excel Magazine's promotional distribution capabilities within the African diaspora. Excel Magazine projects positive images of Africa and excellence in people, places and events. Upon Ambassador Wreh's travel to Liberia this November, she is scheduled to visit the LNTTGAWU in Monrovia, as well as discuss plans with the Ministry of Commerce and Industry; and Ministry of Information Cultural Affairs and Tourism for creating a foreseeable International Fashion Week event in Monrovia. Wreh's thinking is to not only pronounce Liberia's manufacturing assets amongst Liberians, but to invite neighboring countries to Monrovia to stimulate local trade as a start. Wreh's formidable plans do include an outreach for western markets to visit the city; and this concept is certainly within the cross hairs of Monrovia's struggling hotel and resort industry.<p></p></div>Makeup Ghana’s first cosmetics awards Launchedhttps://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/profiles/blogs/makeup-ghana-s-first-cosmetics-awards-launched2016-08-04T03:22:20.000Z2016-08-04T03:22:20.000Zjie smithhttps://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/members/jiesmith<div><p>Over 24 makeup artists will contest for the covetous Makeup of the Year award while training institutions, companies and media houses would be honoured under other categories.</p><p>The categories includes: makeup artist of the year, best special effects makeup artist, best editorial makeup artist, best bridal makeup artist, best celebrity makeup artist, most promising makeup artist, best TV makeup artist and makeup/beauty brand of the year.</p><center><img border="1" alt="Makeup Ghana" src="https://www.newsghana.com.gh/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Makeup-Ghana-300x205.jpg" width="233" height="224" /></center><p align="center">photos:<a href="http://www.marieprom.co.uk/cheap-prom-dresses">cheap prom dresses</a></p><p>The rest are: best beauty/makeup blog, best makeup/beauty school, most promising Ghanaian owned brand, best beauty/makeup Vlog, most glamorous celebrity and trailblazer.</p><p>The awards look to acknowledge work of makeup brands, retailers and industry players who support makeup artists to grow the industry.</p><p>It is the third segment in a chain of events originated by Makeup Ghana to promote and celebrate best practices in the makeup business.</p><p>Ms Rebecca Donkor, the Chief Executive of Makeup Ghana, said nominations for 14 categories were accepted and nominees were trimmed to four for each category, based on published criteria forming the submission process.</p><p>The final classification – Trailblazer Award – is a lifetime achievement award and was decided upon by the Awards board.</p><p>Judges have vast professional experience and exposure to the artistry and business of the beauty and makeup trade, she said.</p><p>Ms Donkor said the aim of the awards is to stimulate excellence in Ghana’s makeup industry and boost the country’s tourism sector.</p><p>“We believe to inspire excellence, we need to celebrate role models and innovators, for others to follow and emulate,” she said.</p><p>“We are organising this maiden awards in Ghana to recognise and reward trailblazers and budding talents within the cosmetics industry.”</p><p>She expressed optimism that the event would create the right ecosystem for the emerging and fast growing beauty industry to spur economic growth and generate jobs.</p><p>Makeup Ghana aims to create a unified platform that brings together makeup professionals, brands, beauty retailers as well as fashion and beauty content creators in Ghana under one umbrella to synergise and drive the industry.</p><p>The organisation seeks to achieve its targets through series of advocacy and consumer education campaigns, showcasing talent and innovation, training and professional development of practitioners and artists.</p><p>It also pursues and encourages best practices and standards in the industry with the aim of serving as a catalyst for growth and inspiring excellence.</p><p>Read more:<a href="http://www.marieprom.co.uk/cocktail-dresses">MarieProm cocktail dresses</a></p></div>Cate Blanchett Struts Through Awards Seasonhttps://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/profiles/blogs/cate-blanchett-struts-through-awards-season2015-12-16T09:54:10.000Z2015-12-16T09:54:10.000ZSophiahttps://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/members/Sophia667<div><p>An occasional Armani model, she’s in Chanel one night, Yacine Aouadi the next.</p><p> </p><p>Although she can be a chameleon on screen, convincingly playing Elizabeth I or Bob Dylan, Cate Blanchett is a touch more predictable on the red carpet, typically favoring elegant cuts, often in black and often by Armani Privé.</p><p> </p><p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}8843564667,original{{/staticFileLink}}"><img width="750" class="align-full" src="{{#staticFileLink}}8843564667,original{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="8843564667?profile=original" /></a> Image: <a href="http://www.starharvestsilverjewelry.com/silver-earrings.html" target="_blank">wholesale silver earring</a></p><p></p><p>But this year Ms. Blanchett has been exploring a range of designers, according to her longtime stylist, Elizabeth Stewart, which “really demonstrates her interest and curiosity about all things, including fashion.”</p><p> </p><p>Ms. Blanchett, 46, an Oscar winner in 2014 for “Blue Jasmine,” has been nominated for the 2016 Golden Globe for best actress in a dramatic role, for her performance in “Carol,” and is favored to get another Oscar nomination (bringing her career total to six) for that film when the nominees are announced early next year.

The red carpets at both sides of the pond were filled with some unbelievable <a href="http://www.designerdesirables.com/">Designer Women’s Fashion</a>. Movie stars and music stars alike shocked, pleased and wowed us all. Over the past 2 months we have seen the best from our stars. I have picked my top 5 favourite looks so far from The Golden Globes, the SAG awards, the BAFTAs and the Grammys…</p><p><strong>1.

You’d think having millions of pounds to spend on outrageous <a href="http://www.cavells.co.uk/">Women’s Designer Fashion</a> by designers most of us can only dream about would look stunning wherever they went. However, just as us ‘normal’ folk, celebs too get it wrong sometimes. Here’s the lo-down of the worst dressed this year at the EE BAFTAs.</p><p></p><p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}8843153689,original{{/staticFileLink}}"><img width="300" class="align-full" src="{{#staticFileLink}}8843153689,original{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="8843153689?profile=original" /></a></p><p>I personally LOVE Elizabeth Olsen, in fact I love all the olsen sisters, so I was very disappointed to see what Liz graced the red carpet in during London’s award show. The star who was nominated for the EE Rising Star Award was tipped to the post by 23 year old Killer Joe actress, Juno Temple. Not only was that a disappointment for Liz, but her down also let her down. The black and white Chanel dress did nothing for the curvy star.</p><p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}8843154456,original{{/staticFileLink}}"><img width="300" class="align-full" src="{{#staticFileLink}}8843154456,original{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="8843154456?profile=original" /></a></p><p>Jennifer Garner may have impeccable taste in men with Best Film and Best Director winner Ben Affleck, but it seems her taste in clothes failed her at this year’s BATFA awards. I don’t knew about you, but I thought the skirt and top combo just didn’t work, she has an amazing body which was hid by the tailoring of this frumpy top.</p><p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}8843154467,original{{/staticFileLink}}"><img width="300" class="align-full" src="{{#staticFileLink}}8843154467,original{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="8843154467?profile=original" /></a></p><p>I have no words for this dress, I really don’t. It’s just a disaster in every single way. The black choker and the strange sheer overlay covered in what seems to be dead leaves are totally not doing it for me. Bad move.</p><p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}8843154674,original{{/staticFileLink}}"><img width="300" class="align-full" src="{{#staticFileLink}}8843154674,original{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="8843154674?profile=original" /></a></p><p>What the Sex and the City star was thinking when she got dressed Sunday night is beyond me. Sarah Jessica Parker just didn’t look good, at all! Is velvet back? Please tell me it’s not. This whole trouser and top combo reminds me of a tacky uniform which is the opposite of flattering. Maybe she needs her trusty Sex and the City team back to dress her.</p><p></p></div>Glitz & Glam at the NTAshttps://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/profiles/blogs/glitz-glam-at-the-ntas2013-01-24T16:52:10.000Z2013-01-24T16:52:10.000ZSami Brownhttps://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/members/SamiBrown<div><p>Following the exciting night at the National Television Awards which was filled with three whole hours of glamorous gowns, exhilarating entertainment and a star-studded audience, the NTA’s are certain to be the talking point for the next few weeks.

Veryclean output up to 3200 iso. So reasonably priced you can get two ofthem for the around the price of one EOS 60D. All in all, the best bangfor the buck entry level DSLR on the market.

Theoutput is breathtaking and competes with some of the Full Frame DSLR'sout there. In fact, I doubt if 99% of Pro users could tell thedifference between a 5D MkII and the K5 on an A3+ print. This is thecamera the K7 could have been but wasn't.

The camera that is putting FEAR in to the FF DSLR 35mm camera brands as well as all of the Medium Format cameramanufacturers. Once they have their lens arsenal up to speed, they willbe a tough act to follow. For a 40 mega pixel, under $10K MediumFormat camera that is backward lens compatible (takes most Pentax lensesand different format Pentax lenses with adapter), it is an awesomedeal.<br /></span></p><p><b><img style="border:medium none;" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-12480" src="http://www.benjaminkanarekblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/pentax-645d-800.jpg" title="pentax-645d-800" border="0" height="619" width="570" alt="pentax-645d-800.jpg" /><span style="color:#333333;"><br /></span></b></p><p><span style="color:#333333;"><b>Here is the Summary</b></span></p><p><span style="color:#333333;"><b><br /></b></span></p><p><b>My Favorite Entry Level DSLR’s are the following:</b></p><p>1.

Also per usual, our invitation got lost in the mail. Sigh.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thankfully, as these once-negligible awards rise in esteem with every passing year, corresponding coverage on the Internet gets ever more extensive and breathless. From fresh-from-the-podium interviews with winners (including Christopher Bailey, Marc Jacobs, and Alexander Wang) to detailed red-carpet reportage, the bloggerati kept us in the loop and on the scene, even if we read their dispatches while chomping on Häagen Dazs in our bedclothes last night. Dig into the best of last night’s coverage after the jump.</p><br /><a href="http://www.afingo.com/blogs/featured/early-trend-report-from-graduate-fashion-week-play-dates-parkas-cavaliers-and-comics/">Read more...</a> <br /></div>ARIA Red Carpet 2008https://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/profiles/blogs/aria-red-carpet-20082008-11-23T12:18:34.000Z2008-11-23T12:18:34.000ZRubi Rockethttps://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/members/RubiRocket<div><a href="http://www.rubirocket.com/images/blog/2008%20ARIAAwards.jpg"><img style="display:block;margin:0px auto 10px;text-align:center;width:381px;height:594px;" src="http://www.rubirocket.com/images/blog/2008%20ARIAAwards.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><a href="http://www.rubirocket.com/images/blog/2008%2BARIA%2BAwards.jpg"><img style="display:block;margin:0px auto 10px;text-align:center;width:347px;height:594px;" src="http://www.rubirocket.com/images/blog/2008%2BARIA%2BAwards.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><a href="http://www.rubirocket.com/images/blog/2008%20aria%20jane%20gazzo.jpg"><img style="display:block;margin:0px auto 10px;text-align:center;width:349px;height:594px;" src="http://www.rubirocket.com/images/blog/2008%20aria%20jane%20gazzo.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><a href="http://channelv.com.au/V/">Channel V</a> host Jane Gazzo walking down the red carpet of the Aria Awards 2008 looking stunning.
