A few weeks after organisers of the Fashion and Music Entertainment (F.A.M.E.), a runway-themed showcase of the abundant talents in the music and fashion industry, started sales of forms for the ingenious event, it is already generating excitement among Nigerian youths desirous of a career in fashion and music.
This much was revealed by Bukiie Smart, the brain behind the project.
“We are genuinely enthused by the response F.A.M.E has generated among young Nigerians since we started selling the forms,” said the Accounting and Finance undergraduate of the University of Reading, United Kingdom.
She explained that she didn’t realise an idea she conceived to change the way things were done in the fashion and music industries she is passionate about, would be the catalyst for thousands of young Nigerians who want to be music and fashion stars.
Entry form for the event, which has been on sale from July, she said, is in two categories – fashion and music and submitted applications would be thoroughly scrutinised and successful applicants would be shortlisted for training and audition which would be the utmost pre-condition for qualification into the finals of the event.
