– GT Shop brings new style to Guyana

GREG Terborg loves fashion! He believes that he was born with this gift because although he does not have any special training in the field, he’s become very good at it – so good, that he is now in a position to advise his friends and the public on what to wear.
Greg’s ‘gift’ moved him to open up ‘GT Shop’ (which can refer to his initials or which can also read ‘Georgetown Shop’)- a men’s wear store located at Lot 71 Winter Place, Stabroek.

The store which was opened last Saturday,features authentic brands, with absolutely no replicas available. With the slogan ‘Think Different’, Greg told The Buzz that GT Shop is one which reflects who you are as a person and one which helps you stand out.
“I feel that Guyana needed a new taste,” he said, as he recalled how everywhere he’d look, he’d only see jeans and t-shirts. “No one wants to spice things up. You’ll never see a linen shirt or suit pants with a t-shirt. People need to switch up their style some more.”
Because Greg is so much into fashion, he says it was very easy for him to make the shop into a reality.

Explaining what ‘fashion’ means in his books, he expressed: “Some people say they like fashion, but I don’t think they’re really into fashion. They think they know fashion; like someone would wear expensive clothing and think that is fashion. But you can wear decent (less expensive) clothing too and still look fly. Fashion is about mixing it up; putting everything together; all styles together and making it look good.”
And Greg’s friends believe in him. They’d just walk into the store and ask him to choose for them. Then they will get emotional and begin to express how much they love their new clothes and style.

Greg says his prices are affordable and are not over the top. “I’m trying to bring America closer to Guyana with the trends, whereby if it’s wearing in America, GT Shop has it; you don’t have to send out or call and order. I feel like Guyana fashion is so behind; so my idea is to bring Guyana closer and up-to-date with American fashion.”
