The Top 12 contestants are faced with their first task in the competition to create a garment inspired by the Brazilian sultry dance, Samba within a short time frame! There’s no time for play when N1,000,000 (One Million Naira)  is at stake plus a whole lot of other fantastic prizes, including an all expense paid trip to Brazil courtesy of MultiChoice Nigeria for the challenge winner!

With an inspiration like that, one should expect a creative explosion of colours, rich textures and fluid fabrics! And did we get that? We certainly did, as contestants gave it their best! The judges were left floored with the great execution by contestants and with others, who eventually made the bottom four, they were left confused and underwhelmed.

Judges: Busola Tejumola (Multichoice Nigeria), Mai Atafo & Lanre Da Silva-Ajayi

Antoinette wowed judges and won the challenge with her gold sequin dress that featured a beaded fringe and feather sleeve and hem detail.
