GTCO BANK FASHION WEEK DAY 1 – Part 1
GUARANTY TRUST (GTCO) FASHION WEEKEND12
Guaranty Trust (GTCO) Fashion Weekend represents an exciting lineup of designers and fashion and style enthusiasts from different parts of the world. Once more, we can anticipate exceptional street style and avant-garde and spellbinding shows from talented designers.
As an organisation that is passionate about driving Africa’s progress, and in line with our vision of promoting enterprise; we will continue to leverage all possible resources for people-to help them thrive. We can’t wait until next time when it’ll be even bigger than before…
Why is GTBank Organizing a Fashion Weekend?
Perhaps the short answer is: To promote enterprise in the SME sector of the Fashion industry. The not-so-short answer would begin with the fact that GTBank actually has an extensive footprint in fashion that goes back several years. The bank has sponsored two of the country’s leading fashion events,
The Arise Fashion Week and The Lagos Fashion and Design Week, for a combined period of five years. The bank has also contributed significantly to raising the international profile of African fashion through collaborations including the Ndani Installation at Selfridges and the “Double Club” Collaboration with PRADA.
The GTBank Fashion Weekend is thus an extension of the bank’s long tradition of supporting the local fashion industry and African fashion in general. However, the Weekend extravaganza is much bigger than whatever the bank has done in the past to support Fashion because it not only aims to celebrate African fashion but to directly boost both the expertise and exposure of small businesses and create a platform that will truly serve the stakeholders in the fashion industry.
As Mr Segun Agbaje, the Managing Director of GTBank, puts it, “[it is all about] growing SMEs in a sustainable manner that is not driven by profits but focused on empowering our customers and growing our economy collectively.”
The Guaranty Trust Fashion Weekend
The Guaranty Trust Fashion Weekend is a consumer-focused fair and free business platform designed to showcase the best of Africa’s Fashion to a global audience whilst promoting the effervescent enterprise of the continents growing fashion industry.
