Fashion Designer, Oheneba Yaw Boamah, popularly known as \u2018Abrantie the Gentleman\u2019<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Ghanaian fashion designer, Oheneba Yaw Boamah, popularly known as \u2018Abrantie the Gentleman\u2019 has revealed that one of his employees vanished without a trace just before a show in Milan, Italy.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Irene Adubea Aning on Joy Learning TV\u2019s Career Trail programme, the designer explained that, he invited two models and a tailor he trusted to accompany him to Milan after receiving an invitation to a fashion event.<\/p>\n

He noted thaty, although he covered the cost of these escorts\u2019 travel, things took a bad turn after they got to Milan when the tailor he had so much faith in was nowhere to be found.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cCould you believe this was a tailor that I trusted so much? I wanted to set an example for my other workers. I took all expenses, paid for this tailor, we got to Milan, and he just vanished. I couldn\u2019t see him again,\u201d he lamented.<\/p>\n

Abrantie recalls the tailor\u2019s actions dealt him a serious setback, causing him to miss his flight back to Ghana.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were supposed to find ways and means to pay to get back to Ghana,\u201d he explained bitterly.<\/p>\n

The fashion designer admits this incident has been one of his down moments as a fashion designer, especially since he was representing Ghana as a speaker and showcasing designs at the show.<\/p>\n

Some people mistakenly believed that he had orchestrated the situation, Abrantie said.<\/p>\n

\u201cImagine you being invited; it was a very big programme, Expo Milan. It was a very huge organization. They were thinking you came with all these people just to come and do this, and it was all planned. I got to Milan and there were giant billboards of me mounted in Milan.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was how huge it was. There were paparazzi too. So after the paparazzi, one of the people just sneaked out and these same people doing the paparazzi think everything was planned\u201d, he stated.<\/p>\n

Abrantie conveyed his appreciation to Black Stars player, Agyemang Badu, who was in Italy at the time of the incident and helped arrange his travel back to Ghana.<\/p>\n
