In anticipation for the GTBank Fashion Weekend slated for November 10-11, Nigeria's elite, dressed to the theme of Art Meets Fashion, were received with food and cocktails.

Now in its third year, the GTBank Fashion Weekend has become the premier consumer-focused event that places African fashion on the global stage and helps small businesses in the local fashion industry thrive. Crowds gather to interact with some of the best minds in the global fashion space and directly patronise more than 200 indigenous small businesses in the local fashion industry.

On Tuesday, GTBank hosted some of your faves at Art 21 Gallery to cocktail and wonderful art. The Art Meets Fashion cocktail event was a precursor for the main event holding next weekend. Here's what you should be looking forward to during the fashion week.

Influencers in dramatic headpieces, geometric prints and artsy patterns stormed the gallery to take their place by the art.

Here are some of our favourite looks from the night:

Had one of the most amazing night of the year at the @gtbank Fashion Weekend Cocktail ... Was surrounded with la crème de la crème of the fashion industry and spent the night leaving my best life ! Got the chance to be dressed by one of the greatest artistic designer of the city @weizdhurmfranklyn .... You made my night so much extra as the theme of the cocktail was : When Art Meets Fashion ⌛️and was representing " the time " in an artistic way.
