The fashion designer's brand has been seen on various runway shows, mainly across the African continent, with breathtaking contemporary designs with a touch of African print.

In a past interview, Elikem, who once made the headlines for proposing to his former Zimbabwean wife and Big Brother Africa colleague, Pokello Nare, on stage at the 2014 edition of the Ghana Music Awards, shared that he mastered the art of tailoring by observing a neighbour who was a tailor.

He noted that he decided to defer his course during his third year as a student at the University of Ghana to pursue his dream of being a fashion designer after he lost his father.

In the past, Elikem Kumordzie stated that he decided to focus on his fashion design career as it was more lucrative than the acting gig.

Below is the video of Elikem Kumordzie attending the 2025 TGMA with a sewing machine:
