The much anticipated 5th edition of the
Guaranty Trust Fashion Weekend was
held on Saturday, November 12, and
Sunday, November 13, 2022, at the
GTCenter, Oniru, Lagos.
The two-day consumer focused event with the
theme ‘The Future of Fashion Retail’ created an
ultimate fashion experience, where the best and
sought-after fashion houses, to the most promising
and talented retail brands, showcased the latest
fashion trends and products to a large and diverse
audience of consumers, fashion aficionados and
industry professionals.
Returning with creativity and pop of colour after
a two-year hiatus, the Fashion Weekend which
debuted in 2016, has become one of the continent’s
leading platforms for showcasing Africa’s finest, and
promoting real commerce for small businesses in
the fashion industry.
This year’s event featured Entrepreneurial and
Fashion masterclasses, free retail stalls, fashion
presentations, a streetwear village and an ultimate
runway show.
Top international designers from across Africa and
Europe, took to the runway to give fashion fans a
taste of what to expect next fashion season.
From 60s glam, structured dresses, athelesiure
to ruffles and exaggerated sleeves, this season’s
trends as sighted on the GTCO Fashion runways,
were as feminine as they could get.
Ruffles
Designers couldn’t get
enough of this feminine
accent; frills and ruffles were
fluttering about the neckline,
waist and hemline.

The fashion industry is one of the
industries that has been most affected
by the digital printing revolution and
designers are making the best use of it
to further their visions on cloth.

Bold Brights
Colours continue to get
brighter. It’s time to rid your
wardrobe of those dark
outfits for some exciting
bursts of colour.
Sheer Shapes
Designers know that it’s always
more elegant to leave a little to the
imagination and on dresses, tops
and skirts, transparency will be a
must for your wardrobe next season.
