With the holiday season approaching, it will be great to select your Christmas party outfits and gifts. Youths have played an integral part in the planning and execution of Guyana Fashion Weekend; one such individual being Keron Noble for his commitment and dedication.
This year, GFW will feature the Indigenous fashion display. Trafficking In Persons (TIP), domestic violence and people living with disabilities are the causes GFW will be highlighting this year.
Guyana Fashion Week is the second longest fashion event in the Caribbean and the team very thankful for the support since 2007.
