Cole-Wagner also highlighted the expansion of the industry, noting how designers like Randy Madray have risen from humble beginnings to gain recognition in the fashion world.
She has called on the public to show their support, stressing that while Guyanese designers gain fame abroad, local support remains crucial for the industry’s success.
