Randy Madray is a 25-year-old fashion designer who was born in Georgetown, Guyana. At the age of 15, because of his successes in the arts in school and his evident love for fashion, Randy was proposed by his closest cousin, Javanna, to enter into a fashion designing competition, FACTS, for students.
At that time, the shy teenager was a student at Queen’s College and was pushed towards realizing his full designing potential.
Being the youngest he was quite nervous but emerged the winner of 3 of the five prejudged segments and eventually the overall winner. At this point, Randy would have been mentored by Michelle Cole, Natasha Martindale and Trevor Rose in the competition who provided much support. Winning awarded him The Student Designer of the Year 2009 Award.
This year makes ten years since Randy Madray has been designing. Randy hopes for yet another productive year and looks forward to one filled with new opportunities and growth. He believes that humility is important but you must know your worth! If you live what you do, you never have to work a day.
Last weekend, the Guyana Fashion Showcase made its debut at the Ramada Hotel at Providence, East Bank Demerara and Randy was one of the featured designers. Here are a few pieces from his new collection launched at the Guyana Fashion Showcase.
