More Than Just a Runway
Since its inception, GTCO Fashion Weekend has evolved beyond runway shows.
The event now serves as a consumer-focused exhibition, designed to give emerging and growing fashion brands a chance to test the market, gain exposure, and build meaningful business relationships.
Past vendors have leveraged the platform to attract new customers, secure investors, and form collaborations with other brands.
Why This Opportunity Matters
For many small and medium fashion enterprises (MSMEs), one of the biggest challenges is securing affordable, high-visibility retail space.
This initiative removes that barrier by providing selected vendors with free access to prime exhibition spots, allowing them to showcase their products to thousands of fashion enthusiasts, buyers, and industry professionals without the heavy costs usually associated with marketing or exhibitions.
