PROMOTING ENTERPRISE
The Guaranty Trust Fashion Weekend is a consumer-focused fashion exhibition and capacity-building event that aims to promote enterprise within the fast-growing Nigerian Fashion Industry.
When it comes to cloth-making, nothing rivals the intricacies involved in the weaving of the Aso-Oke. Centuries-old and a treasured Yoruba heritage, the making of the Aso-Oke is one of Africa’s proudest fashion traditions. Today, one of the most prominent custodians of the Asa-Oke tradition are the Ogidi Women.
The Ogidi Women are one of the creative forces behind the evolution of Aso-Oke from linear designs to more vibrant and colorful styles. For years, The Ogidi Women have honed their expertise in weaving Aso-oke and have developed an unrivaled style and technique in the fabric’s designs, motifs and painting, which has been exported all over the world.
