Ogun State-born fashion designer Kuforiji Oluwaseun has etched his name in history by setting a new Guinness World Record for the longest sewing marathon.
Oluwaseun, a graduate of Tai Solarin University of Education and founder of the fashion brand Koil Creations, received his official Guinness World Records certificate and plaque on Friday in recognition of his achievement.
The designer sewed non-stop for an astonishing 106 hours, 55 minutes, and 20 seconds, from January 22 to January 26, 2024, in Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State. His endurance and craftsmanship were on full display as he created 18 outfits during the marathon, completing an entire Agbada ensemble within the first six hours.
His feat highlights not just his talent but also the resilience and creativity within Nigeria’s fashion industry.
