Christie Brown was founded in March 2008 with the launch of the brand’s first runway show in #Accra, #Ghana. Founder, Aisha Obuobi began her love affair with fashion at an early age. The real motivation however came from watching her grandmother, Christie Brown (after which the label is named), a seamstress, create rich and vibrant garments. As a little girl, she reveled in playing with shreds of African material and designed mini collections for her favorite dolls.
Today, Christie Brown stands uniquely as a women’s apparel and accessories manufacture and retailer, with pieces ranging from beautiful bespoke gowns to practical, yet statement ready-to-wear pieces and innovative accessories primarily inspired by African culture and art. The clothes and accessories have made a bold statement, painting runways with a fusion of color and culture, fit for the contemporary African woman. Christie Brown is more than just clothes; it’s a unique experience designed to complement the amazing personalities of the African woman - an experience crafted specially for you.
