From brazen displays of style essentials to pacesetting pieces that are sure to set the fashion tone for the rest of the season, the 2024 GTCO Fashion Weekend redefined style and elegance while propagating the local for global trend.
With vendors and exhibitors having it all, the GTCO Fashion Weekend was the destination location for fashion lovers in Lagos and beyond.
A step into the massive arena explains why the fashion event has become one of the most anticipated on the Nigerian and West African shores.
The height of the two-day weekend was the struggle to attend the masterclasses, and runway shows as the fashion enthusiasts who thronged the event were unwilling to yield their spaces for fear of missing out on a phenomenal display of talent, and creativity that are the true heart of fashion.
Other highlights of the event include the runway show that saw designers like Tolu Coker, Ituen Basi, Hue By Idera, Gert Johan-Coetzee, Xu Zhi, Romeo Hunte, Eric Raisina, Sukeina, Orire, Onalaja, Selly Raby Kane, and Laquan Smith dazzling attendees.
The show had four different masterclasses spread over the two days, and they had Lulu Kennedy, Patricia Bright, Sheika Daley and Ted Gibson expressing delight at the fashion event.
For Kennedy, “I am so inspired and impressed by GTCO. It’s very cool and I’ve had a nice, relaxed time and it’s just a pleasure to be here and be a part of it.”
A foreigner, Patricia Bright and YouTuber, who spoke at the event said, “Being here in Nigeria and seeing the way we reflect colour and beauty, patterns and prints lets me realise that this could become my version of me. A year from now, you never know what girl I might be wearing.”
Sheika Daley said, “Editorials are more of a collaborative effort, they work together to create a story, so I’m just lending my talents to be able to emphasise the creative story we are telling. I’m inspired by everything. Music inspires me, seeing the women and the colours that they have on, everything inspires me.”
