GGY Collections stole the spotlight at the 2023 FashioNXT #1 in Forbes US City Fashion Weeks with an unforgettable presentation. Held at the iconic US Bank HQ on Broadway in Portland, it’s 10th Anniversary of FashioNXT Week was nothing short of extraordinary. TIME Magazine crowned it as the top fashion event in the US outside of New York Fashion Week, while Portland’s Mayor proudly declared it the city’s official fashion week.
GGY Collections was founded in 2016 by Grace Maseko Chirwa, who is the CEO and designer of the brand. The name GGY was derived from the names Grace and GlorY, her father’s name. The designer was inspired by her mother who, for many years, was a leader at community centers, teaching local women how to obtain sewing skills for the purpose of building small businesses for their families. GGY Collections is based on self-reliance and confidence for individuals who are a part of the main tree of family life. When you look good, you feel good, and you bring a positive energy in everything you do.
Amidst a sea of remarkable designers showcasing the future of fashion and fashion-tech, GGY Collections emerged as the pinnacle of elegance and sophistication. Their presentation, which served as the grand finale of the event’s opening night, left the audience spellbound. As the designer walked proudly with her stunning models, adorned in metallics, teal, and black velvet, the crowd erupted into a standing ovation.
The choice of Portland, Oregon, with its rich artistic heritage, was a fitting backdrop for GGY Collection‘s Fall Season showcase. Against this backdrop of magnificent art forms, the collection resonated deeply, embodying timeless beauty and innovation. GGY Collections‘ triumphant display solidified their status in the fashion industry, leaving an indelible mark on FashioNXT and the global fashion scene.
