The Fashion Advancement and Startup Training (F.A.S.T) Accelerator, a joint initiative by FashionEVO Programs and 360Creative Innovation Hub, has officially concluded its inaugural cohort with a Pitch & Graduation Ceremony at the British Council, Lagos.

Delivered as a 100 percent fully funded, zero-cost program for selected founders, the accelerator provided emerging fashion entrepreneurs with high-impact training, strategic business tools, and core operational skills to build competitive, sustainable brands.

Throughout the program, participants completed intensive physical and virtual sessions covering brand positioning, financial literacy, storytelling, marketing, business pitching, and strategic expansion.

The ceremony opened with remarks from Yetty Ogunnubi, Founder & CEO of FashionEVO and YD Company and Mrs Blessing Ebere Achu, Founder & MD of 360Creative Innovation Hub,

“F.A.S.T was created from the understanding that talent alone is not enough to build a sustainable fashion business,” stated Dr Yetty Ogunnubi.
