GTBank Fashion Weekend takes off amidst Glits and Glamour

By Yemisi Suleiman

Right now the buzz is on the GTBank Fashion Weekend, which kicked off yesterday to a fantastic start. From the Master classes which had speakers on different issues: makeup artistry to being a fashion entrepreneur and the large exhibition ground boisterous with activities, to the line up of top brands who had their designs on display, the debut edition of the GTBank Fashion Weekend, lived up to its billing as one of the most prestigious fashion shows in the country yet.

The runway show opened with international designer, Tonia MacDonald, who thrilled the audience with the most glamorous evening dresses ever; a breathless collection of shimmering dresses in gold, black and some in form of shimmering adire fabric that came with thigh high silts, mini and asymmetric cuts. Organised by GTBank as a means to empower small business owners as well as contributing it’s quota to the development of the Fashion Industry in Nigeria, the event was attended by the who’s who of the fashion fraternity with the top notch fashion houses putting their work on display.

With just six designers participating in the runway shows, and MacDonald raising the bar with his opening yesterday, we look forward to a fantastic day two show today, and hope for nothing but the best from showcasing designers.
