Student of Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University, Samuel Chinecherem Ezeh Breaks Guinness Records For Creating Longest Sleeves
A fashion designer claimed a world record by creating a show-stopping robe with 50-metre sleeves.
The longest sleeves on a garment is 51.20 metres (167.97 ft) and was achieved by Samuel Chinecherem Ezeh (Nigeria) in Onitsha, Anambra State, Nigeria.
That’s longer than the Statue of Liberty is high and longer than an Olympic-size swimming pool.
Samuel made this attempt to create a landmark piece in the field of fashion.
Samuel, 27, who works as a fashion designer and tailor while studying at Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University, had to overcome a lot to make the garment.
