Renike Olusanya and Damilola Onosowobo Marcus lead Bawsty, a fashion label dedicated to fuller-busted women. They design with precision and empathy, consistently centring the bodies that mainstream fashion often sidelines. Their approach blends technical fit knowledge with contemporary style.
They are being honoured for their collections’ part in pushing national conversations about body diversity forward. The brand became a reference point for size-inclusive clothing in Nigeria. Their work demonstrated that thoughtful design can reshape how communities talk about fit and representation.
