GTCO Creating Great Experiences: A Welcome from the Group Chief Executive Officer

For nearly a decade, the GTCO Fashion Weekend has stood as a vibrant celebration of creativity, innovation, and enterprise. Born from a singular goal—connecting small businesses with wider markets, this event has successfully evolved into one of Africa’s most anticipated fashion and lifestyle gatherings, uniting fashion entrepreneurs and enthusiastic audiences from across the continent and beyond. 

This year, as we proudly mark the eighth edition of Africa’s biggest fashion event, we take immense pride in the journey we have traveled and the countless success stories it has inspired.

The GTCO Fashion Weekend reaffirms our core belief that enterprise thrives where creativity is encouraged and opportunity is shared. Through the world of fashion, we have built a powerful platform that does more than just showcase talent it nurtures ambition and drives meaningful participation in Africa’s rapidly expanding creative economy.

Our focus every year remains sharply on Promoting Enterprise. By bringing together both emerging and established voices in fashion, we continue to highlight the ingenuity and rich diversity that define African creativity. This effort reaffirms our commitment to generating economic opportunities that enrich lives and strengthen communities.

Looking ahead, our goal is clear: not only to showcase the remarkable talent and innovation that define the continent’s fashion landscape, but also to inspire shared, sustainable, and people-centered growth that truly moves Africa forward.

Welcome to the 8th GTCO Fashion Weekend.
