Guaranty Trust Bank, one of Africa’s largest financial services providers, is once again set to reinforce its position as a foremost African financial brand and a proudly African, truly international institution with its support of the biggest African fashion event out of Africa to take place in London in under a month.
“We are proud to have on board such a reputable financial institution which has time and time again proved their support of various art and design initiatives in Nigeria and beyond. GTB will not only lend their support to AFWL but also to three of our designers who will be designing a design each in collaboration with GTB and take part in an GTB sponsored fashion show,” said Ronke Ademiluyi, founder and CEO of Africa Fashion Week London.
