The Fayrouz L’Original regional competition which held on Saturday 7th June 2014, at the Golden Royale Hall, Enugu was a truly exciting experience for all 10 teams, guests and students that graced the occasion.
The Safari themed competition which was hosted by media personality, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, featured the designs of Applause, Belle Afrique, Creative Lights, Echo, Elan, Elite, Secret Project, Eureka, FIB and Loud Tribe. Each team consisting of four – a designer, photographer, make-up artist and model.
Regional judges; Adebayo Oke-Lawal of Orange Culture and the creative duo, Gozel Green, revealed that the winning teams to battle for the $20,000 at the grand finale are “Team Elan” and “Loud Tribe“. The winners were rewarded with brand new MacBook Pro laptops for each member and Nikon Cameras for the photographers in both teams.
According to Adebayo Oke-Lawal, “All ten teams did really well especially owing to the fact that most of them are not professionals yet. However, the winning teams displayed exceptional originality and creativity in their designs. Not only did their designs stand out, one can also see the cohesiveness in their works, which some other teams lacked”.
