Adwoa Aboah Went to Ghana With Burberry—and the Photos Are Magical
Third time's a charm. It model Adwoa Aboah has again teamed up with Burberry and photographer Juergen Teller for the third and final chapter of their dreamy portfolio series. After shooting in New York and London, this time Aboah headed to Ghana to celebrate her West African heritage—and the fun, colorful photos are exactly what we need to get us through the week.
"We knew from the beginning that we wanted to shoot in Ghana. We wanted to show a beautiful story of these three places I am so lucky to have in my life—I moved to New York, I have this lovely family where I've grown up in West London, and I have Ghana," Aboah said in a statement exclusive to Who What Wear. "It's so important for me to show everyone this other world that I'm also a part of, the place where my dad grew up and the house he spent his whole life living in, and to show where it all started."
In one image, Aboah poses with her Ghanian relatives, including her grandmother, aunt, great-aunt, and cousin—and they're all wearing outfits they designed from Burberry Vintage check fabric. How cool is that? Scroll down to see the beautiful new photos.
Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 12 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of senior news editor (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
