Nigeria, Oct 19, 2016 – Chief Executive Officer of the British Fashion Council, Caroline Rush is one of the resource persons that will address a gathering of fashion buffs at the GTBank Fashion weekend.

Rush has achieved remarkable success in promoting the British fashion industry by organizing the globally renowned London Fashion Week and the prestigious British Fashion Awards.




In 2015, she was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) by the Queen of England for services to the British fashion industry. She will offer insights on how to successfully position a fashion brand.

Rush was appointed British Fashion Council joint chief executive in March 2009. As joint Chief Executive, she oversaw the Council’s move into Somerset House in 2009.

Rush however became the sole chief executive in June 2012 after some restructuring of the council. She played a key role in attracting brands such as Burberry and Pringle and British designers such as Antonio Berardi and Jonathan Saunders back to London.

Telegraph Fashion Director, Hilary Alexander credited Rush with changing London Fashion Week from being a ‘poor cousin’ compared with Paris, Milan and New York, “and showing that Britain is really where it all begins”.
