She explained that: “After six fantastic years of unparalleled success, FWG still remains with the mission of promoting home grown talent and The Gambia as an international fashion hub. We also take great pride in providing training and mentorship for Designers, Models, makeup artists and event organizers from The Gambia whilst providing a platform for international designers particularly those from West Africa and the Diaspora”
“We still have a desire to push creativity and ingenuity whilst engaging both the private and public sectors to invest in our Youths. We believe in The Gambia and show this belief by providing FWG for the world to see and admire the beautifully crafted designs made by Gambians,”
Ms. Njie said: “FWG has not been absent in the formulation of a unique aesthetic for the smiling coast. As we’re in the age of new Gambia, it’s only fitting that this continues to brand, promote and sell a fashion that’s distinctly ours to the world”
