@braperucci.africa: The family of Ghanaian fashion designer Sadia Sanusi has issued an official statement confirming her death, one day after news of her passing sent shockwaves through Ghana's creative community. In a joint statement released Monday by her family and the Sadia Sanusi team, the family said she "departed peacefully on Sunday, 14th June 2026." The cause of death was not disclosed. The statement moved quickly to reassure clients and business partners. The Sadia Sanusi brand, it confirmed, remains fully operational. All garments currently in production will be completed and delivered, and existing consultations, fittings and appointments will proceed as scheduled under the management team's supervision. Questions have been swirling within Ghana's fashion community about the fate of the SS Kente Sewing Artistry Masterclass, a programme Ms. Sanusi had scheduled for June 22nd to mark ten years of her brand. The family said an official communication on the way forward would be issued shortly, and asked registered participants, partners, speakers and sponsors for patience in the meantime. "Sadia was not only a visionary designer," the statement read. "She was a woman of purpose, creativity and grace whose influence reached far beyond the fashion industry." The family has asked the public and media to respect their privacy. Memorial arrangements will be announced at the appropriate time. #sadiasanusi
