Meet Linda Madugu: Designer

I’m Linda Madugu, a fashion designer originally from Ghana and currently based in the U.S. I’ve always believed that what we wear should do more than just cover us — it should celebrate us, make us feel seen, strong, and beautifully ourselves.

I studied Apparel Design at BYU–Idaho, where I honed my skills in construction and storytelling through clothing. But it wasn’t until I joined the Paragon Institute of Innovation that my path as a designer truly expanded. Paragon didn’t just mentor me — they opened the door. Through their hybrid internship program, I gained the tools, confidence, and creative platform to build my vision and take it back home.

Today, I’m proud to be launching ELOMÁ, a Ghana-based sustainable fashion brand designed to serve modern working women with style, intention, and cultural pride. Every piece we create is rooted in community, crafted with care, and inspired by the belief that fashion can be a force for good.

For me, this isn’t just a career. It’s a calling to empower others, honor heritage, and design a future where every voice is visible — and every garment tells a story worth wearing.

How It Works

  • Local Design & Training: We incubate emerging designers through Paragon’s creative enterprise mentorship

  • Textile Recovery: We partner with circular vendors to reclaim surplus fabrics from both local and international sources

  • Production in Accra: Garments are manufactured through ethical factories like Sleek Garments, supporting job creation in Ghana

  • Sales & Social Impact: 10% of proceeds go directly to fund Paragon’s scholarships and circular economy education programs in Africa

A TEXTILE Initiative

Powered by Paragon, ELOMÁ is a new initiative that merges sustainable fashion, social entrepreneurship, and economic revitalization—starting in Ghana and expanding globally. Launched in 2025, this program was born from a powerful question: What if the very fabrics we throw away could become the foundation of equity, beauty, and opportunity?

ELOMÁ’s debut capsule collection is led by Linda Madugu, a Ghanaian designer and former hybrid intern at Paragon Institute of Innovation.

Get Involved

Whether you're a donor, manufacturer, conscious consumer, or policy advocate—there’s a place for you in this movement. Together, we can restore dignity to discarded materials, elevate underrepresented talent, and co-create fashion that heals.

This is ELOMÁ… Grace in Motion.

Why It Matters

The global fashion industry generates over 92 million tons of textile waste each year, much of it ending up in African landfills—especially in Ghana’s secondhand clothing markets. While this waste chokes ecosystems and economies, it also hides raw creative potential. Through ELOMÁ, we are rewriting that story:

  • Not just what we wear, but how we wear our values

  • Not just making fashion, but making futures

  • Not just keeping up with trends, but shifting the system
