\"Black <\/a>Black Sherif is a popular Ghanaian musician<\/p>\n

Ghanaian music sensation Black Sherif has opened up about the origins of his fashion style, including an incident where he was beaten for a particular hairstyle.<\/p>\n

In an interview with international fashion magazine Patta, the “Second Sermon” singer was asked about being considered one of Ghana’s best-dressed men. <\/p>\n

He revealed that his journey began after his mother left for Greece and he stayed with his aunt.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy whole style started in a woman\u2019s closet\u2014my auntie’s. When my mom left for Greece, I stayed with my auntie, and she had all kinds of stylish stuff. I\u2019d sneak into her things, steal belts, and glasses. That\u2019s when I got into appearances,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

This early experimentation came with risks, as he recalled being beaten for a particular hairstyle.<\/p>\n

\u201cI also tried different hairstyles, like one called \u201cbackbone,\u201d and got beaten for it because it was too bold for where I was living. I\u2019ve always been chasing freedom to dress how I want,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

He also credited his mother, a seamstress, for his style.<\/p>\n

\u201cI used to sew my buttons for school. Even in high school, I\u2019d alter my clothes because I couldn\u2019t afford a tailor. If I didn\u2019t like something about a shirt or a pair of sneakers, I\u2019d cut it and make it my own,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The interview also touched on his venture into high fashion, specifically his walk for the brand Labrum at London Fashion Week in September 2023. <\/p>\n

\u201cAs a teenager, I couldn\u2019t afford real designer clothes, so I wore replicas. But now, I get these things as gifts, and I feel like I have a fashion dream that will come true. After walking for Labrum, people told me I was natural at it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Despite his initial doubts about his performance on the runway, he was encouraged by the strong positive reactions.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought I didn\u2019t do a great job, but the reactions were strong. I\u2019m still figuring out my way in fashion, but I believe in it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
