Fashion entrepreneurs in Nigeria now have the opportunity to showcase their brands at one of the country’s biggest style and enterprise gatherings — the GTCO Fashion Weekend 2025. Guaranty Trust Holding Company (GTCO) has officially opened applications for free retail stalls, giving designers and vendors direct access to thousands of buyers, fashion lovers, and industry players.

Event Details:

Since its launch, GTCO Fashion Weekend has evolved into more than just a runway showcase. The event has become a consumer-focused exhibition where small and emerging fashion brands can gain exposure, test the market, and secure valuable business connections. For many past vendors, the platform has served as a launchpad to new customers, investors, and collaborations.

For MSMEs in fashion, this initiative removes one of the biggest barriers — access to affordable stalls in prime locations. Instead of spending heavily on exhibitions or marketing, selected vendors get free visibility at a high-profile event that draws thousands of visitors every year.

Tips for Applicants:

• Highlight the uniqueness of your brand story and creativity.

• Show readiness by demonstrating that your products meet high-quality standards.

• Engage buyers with marketing materials and adequate inventory.

• Avoid last-minute submissions; review requirements carefully before the deadline.
