Said she:  “There is huge potential of growth from African fashion to build businesses.

“The Masterclass brings different people in the creative industry under one roof for collaboration and networking.

“We are taking fashion business seriously. We see a lot of potential in it and our target is to change the lives of Africans.’’

Commending the participants for the quality of designs on display, the director explained that the designs displayed at the Masterclass event could compete anywhere in the world.

“There is no lack of talent in Africa. What we lack are — information, skills and financing,’’ she said.

She emphasized that the bank was committed to building capacity of creative fashion designers with a view to helping them to access financial assistance.
