Tolu Coker’s OLAPEJU SS25 collection captivated the GTCO Fashion Weekend audience with a stunning tribute to Yoruba heritage and the strength of women. Inspired by the phrase “Where Wealth Gathers,” Coker redefined richness, focusing on cultural depth and resilience over monetary value. Each piece exuded modern elegance while celebrating the powerful women who shaped her story, seamlessly blending heritage with contemporary sophistication.
