The Ninth GTCO Fashion Weekend Runs in Lagos, With 12 Runway Designers and 140 Fashion Retailers
The ninth GTCO Fashion Weekend was held on November 7 and 8, 2026, at the GTCentre in Oniru, Lagos, Nigeria, running from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily and free and open to all attendees. Organizer Guaranty Trust Holding Company (GTCO) set this year's theme as "Fashion Is Timeless."
Twelve designers showed across two days: Tongoro, FIA Factory, Ibrahim Fernandez, Washington Roberts, Maison Sara Chraibi and Imane Ayissi on day one, and Sukeina, House of Marvee, Selam Fessahaye, Kim Shui, Ohlanna Bu Zikora and LaQuan Smith on day two. Beyond the runway, the event brought together 140 curated fashion retail stores, a dedicated Streetwear Hub, and masterclasses led by fashion entrepreneur Sherlina Nym, Rachel Ojuromi and Renee Morris, founder of natural hair brand Uncle Funky's Daughter, plus a skincare masterclass by Buttah Skin.
GTCO Group Chief Executive Officer Segun Agbaje said fashion is a powerful expression of creativity and culture, and also an important driver of enterprise and economic opportunity, and that over nine years the Fashion Weekend has evolved into a platform where talent is discovered, knowledge is shared and businesses are connected to new markets. He also announced the GTCO Fashion Collective, a year-round platform connecting designers, models, stylists, photographers, editors, buyers and content creators, keeping the conversation, commerce and collaboration going beyond the Fashion Weekend.
Hosted by a financial services group and among Africa's larger consumer fashion platforms, the event pairs public runway shows with direct retail and a year-round push to connect local fashion businesses with customers. (Source: Guaranty Trust Holding Company (GTCO))
