The stage is set for the second edition of the Badagry Fastest Designer Competition, an innovative fashion event championing creativity and sustainability. Organized by Oluwatumininu Anthony, the competition will take place on July 1, 2025, at the Badagry Local Government Secretariat by 10 AM, showcasing the talents of young fashion designers across Badagry, Lagos State.
In an exclusive chat with News Peddlers, Oluwatumininu shared her vision for the event, stating, “We are unlocking potential and creativity in unusual forms. Contestants will create stunning designs by joining pieces of fabric to make 3 yards of material. Just as Lagos State advocates against waste, we’re proving that no material is useless.”
The competition not only promotes eco-friendly fashion but also empowers emerging designers with life-changing opportunities.
The first edition was a massive success, with winners walking away with brand-new sewing machines and other valuable equipment. This year, Oluwatumininu promises an even bigger and better experience, with exciting prizes up for grabs.
“There’s more than enough for the winners,” she teased, hinting at surprises that will elevate the competition to new heights.
Fashion enthusiasts, sustainability advocates, and supporters of local talent are eagerly anticipating this unique event. Will a new star designer emerge from Badagry? Mark your calendars for July 1st and witness creativity in full bloom.
