Mawuli Quist is a maker, stylist, storyteller and founder of the DeFortyFive space and Finders Frames. He is an expert at upcycling accessories, especially hats and eyewear, from Kantamanto, the second-hand clothing market in Accra that receives 15 million garments every week.

Mawuli has a deep knowledge of the Kantamanto Market as well as traditional Ghanian dress, and he is committed to engaging the Ghanaian creative industry in a meaningful dialogue with fashion.
