The idea to create a Obama in Ghana collection for his first visit as elected President of the United States to an African country came up with the first news mid May. German designer and photographer Stefan Meisel who’s living in Abidjan, Ivory Coast since 2007 made the first layouts in the first days of June, together with designer Yves Dossou who created already a street wear collection for the Ivory Coast in 2002. The both creative are working together since February 2009 to bring fresh air in West African street wear. The studios and ateliers are beside the front shop called “Monde Perso” – which is a French catchword for “Create your own (personal) world” – in the centre of Abidjan.

T-Shirt layout for Obama’s visit in Ghana, July 10, 2009.
For the present design we used besides others the official photo of Barack Obama, the official photo from Ghana’s president John Atta Mills, a photo from Pete Souza, who done as well the Airplane-photo. Thanks to the people behind the official photostream of The white house on flickr, where we’ve found a lot of inspiration.

This is a photo taken (1985) of Keta, Ghana in the Volta delta region, shows the erosion the region was/is undergoing. I wonder what the place looks like now.
