The difference between style and fashion is quality- Giorgio Armani.

When Armani said this, he was spotlighting the timeless and enduring pieces that are thoughtfully made, carefully chosen and worn with intention. Fashion can be fast, fleeting and mass-produced, but when a designer’s style can stand the true test of time, it never loses its originality.

This is where Opong Studios’ comes in. A visionary designer, Samuel Oppong, established the wear brand to celebrate the nature of womanhood through fashion. Opong’s Studio allows clients to create made-to-measure pieces tailored to their needs and occasions. They are committed to ‘slow fashion’, encompassing their ethical design and production approach.  For the brand, it isn’t just about putting on clothes but about how you feel, move and what your day looks like.

Truth be told, the life of a modern woman is usually a lot. One minute, she’s working, and the next, she’s running errands or caring for someone special to her. While at it, she needs clothes that can help her feel good about herself, even though she wears so many hats. Coming up with the collection that ticks all the boxes wouldn’t have been done in a rush. The team took their time to get the fit right and the details sharp. Of course, while these fashionable items help women become their best selves, they also care about the environment.

Opong use local fabrics and reuse leftover materials to make scarves, scrunchies and more. That way, fashion stays fun and sustainable. Most importantly, their 2021 collection is comfortable. They let you stay active and confident. No matter where you’re headed, Opong’s designs are made to support you and not hold you back. The brand is made for real women who lead, create and care. Read on carefully, and see how each design supports a woman’s everyday life.

This dress has a square neckline and long, puffed sleeves. It gives off a calm and sweet vibe. The neckline frames the face nicely, and the sleeves make the dress feel fancy, too. But the fabric on the neckline may need a little stretch. It could feel tight when worn for long hours if it’s too stiff.

Opong does well with sleeve and neckline choices. The designer’s choice makes the pieces look rich and modern. Still, more variety could help women pick what works best for them, like shorter sleeves or a V-neck option for warmer days or broader shoulders.

The patterned skirt brings movement, and the light colour of the fabric feels fresh. It gives a pretty, feminine vibe. However, it might not catch the eye at first glance, but it grows on you the more you look at it. The mix of plain top and printed bottom is a smart choice. But a stronger contrast or details like a belt could lift it higher. This classic silhouette flatters many bodies. It’s playful and easy to wear. But for someone with a bigger bust, the top may feel tight. Adding a bit of stretch or shaping darts could help with fitness.

The attire is styled in a balanced way, but still a little too safe. A simple hairpin, belt, or even a bag could bring the look to life. A playful accessory would help tell a stronger narrative. These little things matter in showing how women can wear the pieces.

Above all, the dress shows good work. The ruffles on the skirt fall nicely. However, the designer’s craft skills can be stronger. The joint between the top and the skirt feels slightly stiff. Maybe using a softer stitch or hidden seam would make it smoother. The fabric’s choice and the style are crafted to last. With just a few fixes, Opong can move from good to great.

The sleeves and neckline in Opong’s collection make a strong first impression. The cut-out shoulder with puffed sleeves fits effortlessly, giving the clothes a soft and dreamy look. The attire is bold, with additional sharp cuts that make it feel powerful. The neckline is neat. The designer’s choice suits the feel of women who love a moderate neckline. But the neckline isn’t versatile and suitable for all events.

It would help if the designer added optional changes like offering an extra button at the chest or adjusting the sleeve to be more versatile for any kind of woman, regardless of their type. Women can fit into the dress without feeling out of place. Still, the mix of sleeve and neckline designs shows that the designer is thinking about beauty and strength. These parts could become even better with a little more focus on ease and movement.

Opong’s clothes know how to make someone stop and stare. The colours, the bold cuts, and the flow of the fabric give each outfit a “wow” moment. When someone walks into a room wearing Opong’s clothes, people notice. That’s a big win. The pieces feel like art you can wear.

But sometimes, the “wow” can feel too much for a regular day. Some looks seem better suited for a photo shoot than real life. A few outfits are hard to match with simple shoes or bags. That makes it tricky for everyday use. Some women might love the drama. Others may feel it’s too loud or hard to wear often. The pocket placement feels a bit too far apart. Pulling them closer or making them smaller may help balance the front.

To balance things, the brand could create a few simpler versions of the bold looks—the same idea, but more wearable. This would let more women enjoy the same special designs without feeling overdressed. Opong puts each look together with so much care.  The make-up, shoes, and small touches add to the whole look. This helps women imagine how to wear clothes that are to their taste.

But the styling feels bland. No room for accessories like belts, adding a little bit of drama.  The pocket placement feels a bit too far apart. Pulling them closer or making them smaller may help balance the front. Well, Opong keeps things cleaner sometimes because he thinks less is more. He believes simply showing the clothes helps people focus on the design itself. But then, a sophisticated shoe, a dangling earring, and a belt could make a big difference.

In a way, the styling gives the cloth more space to shine and see how beautiful it is on the wearer. Overall, the stitches are clean. The fabric falls well. Nothing feels rushed. That shows real skill. You get the sense that someone took their time and cared about every seam. While the outfit can be worn for a casual outing, this classic piece works well for formal settings.

This wear shows the designer’s interest in a simple yet stylish look. This shows Samuel has a good eye for detail. Women who want to shape their identity through their clothes can do so with the designer’s fashion sense, making them stand out in various spaces.

First, the fabrics used in this outfit are 100% quality. Not just that, but anyone wearing it is seen as one whose fashion taste is high. The designer’s style choice depicts his flair for tailoring fashionable dresses for the modern woman, enhancing their physical appearance as they engage in daily activities. From the neckline to the fit of the cloth, Opong Studio paid attention to every detail. So, let’s start from the neckline. It is armless and brings out the beauty of the feminine woman. The chocolate colour ruffles at the top is the perfect fit. This shows the designer’s creative ability to think outside the box. But here’s the drawback. This kind of dress seems to fit just light-skinned women. While a black skinned woman can wear this and still look good, a light-skinned woman would wear it and heads will turn at her radiance. Rather than use the same chocolate colour fabric used for the ruffles, the designer deemed it creative to use the animal print for the rest of the outfit. The fabric is a perfect blend for the dress.

The model’s makeup complements the outfit, which was made to blend with the model’s skin and attire. The high-heeled shoe is another accessory that elevates the overall outfit. A recommendation for women who would love to rock this outfit is, pair this wear with a silver or gold heel shoe so it blends perfectly. Make-up should match too. A loud or too minimal make-up might disrupt the outlook of the wearer. A silver necklace/choker can also elevate the look. On the designer’s part, the variety of outfits should be encouraged, especially given that the fabric catches the eyes of every woman. So, the styling should be done to fit every kind of woman.

Overall, the collection is a good one. It has the potential to dominate the market and start a trend. Samuel Oppong is a man who has proven to be a guru in the industry. With this year’s collection, it appears we are in for a joy ride of never-ending, astonishing collection pieces.
