Our story
A weekend that never
ends

[ a weekend that never ends ]

For one extraordinary weekend each year, the worlds of African fashion come together. Designers reveal new ideas. Icons share what experience has taught them. Fashion lovers encounter the unexpected.

From its earliest editions, the GTCO Fashion Weekend has deliberately combined fashion with enterprise, connecting Nigerian and African fashion lovers and creatives with knowledge, peers and wider markets.

BEFORE THERE WAS A COLLECTIVE

It all started with a vision to enrich lives by creating more value around the things Africans experience every day. Fashion became one of those spaces.

The original platform, GTCO Fashion Weekend, was conceived not only as an annual celebration of style, but as a way to support and promote creative enterprise: giving local businesses visibility, bringing designers closer to peers and markets beyond Nigeria, and creating access to knowledge through masterclasses led by experienced fashion professionals.
