Today on The LadyKShow we are talking to Baaba Christian Part 1 of 2! Listen to TheLadyKShow Mon, Tues, Thurs @ 8pm CST, 9pm EST, 6pm PST live: @hofnewliferadio.com.
It all started with Barbie. At the age of six, fashion designer, Baaba Christian was using scraps of fabric to create and design garments for her Barbie dolls. Meanwhile, as her mother would say, most girls at that age were playing a Ghanaian game called Ampe Baaba. As a daughter of a diplomat, Baaba was fortunate enough to live amongst a variety of cultures. “Experiencing these different cultures enhanced my love for fashion.” She says. And this directly reflected in her decisions and actions through the years. In High School, she enrolled in a four year fashion program and became president of their Fashion Club. Many of the students remember Miss Christian constantly developing new pieces and even custom making her prom dress. To expand her knowledge in the field, in 2009 Baaba earned a degree in Fashion Merchandising. During that time she also focused on advancing in fashion design. This brought on an ambitious drive to pursue marketing because every designer should be educated in the field to run a fashion empire. In June 2009, Bchris Couture was founded. The company's specialty is to produce custom garments for their clientele. Many patterns are infused with African essence. Miss Christian produces her garments with a distinct flare. Her belief is that they should convey grace, poise and class.
