Guaranty Trust Holding Company Plc is set to kick off the 8th edition of its annual GTCO Fashion Weekend today, Saturday, November 8, through tomorrow, Sunday, November 9, 2025, at Plot 1, Water Corporation Drive, Oniru, Lagos.

In the build-up to the runway weekend, the organisers held a press briefing on Wednesday, where journalists were taken through a curated exhibition tracing the evolution of Nigerian fashion and the cultural influences shaping contemporary style trends.
The exhibition featured visual and physical displays of garments, accessories, and hair concepts from past editions, including Aso-Oke looms from Oyo State and richly dyed Adire fabrics, sparking lively conversations among guests.
The organisers noted that this year’s edition will once again spotlight the artistic depth of Nigerian and global fashion creators.
Runway showcases will take centre stage, complemented by masterclasses that allow participants to learn directly from respected voices in fashion, modelling, skincare, and makeup.
Guests will also have opportunities to shop from some of Africa’s most contemporary and distinctive fashion brands throughout the weekend.
Designers expected to showcase include Ituen Basi, Mowalola, Mmuso Maxwell, Tongoro Studio, Charles Harbison, Stella Jean, and Tia Adeola, all renowned for pushing creative boundaries and reinterpreting African heritage for modern audiences.
