Over the weekend in Lagos, music star Dapo 'D'banj' Oyebanjo stole the show as he walked the runway in an outfit by HUE, a rising Nigerian fashion brand run by Abisoye Olorunnimbe.
This memorable event occurred during Lanre Da Silva's Runway Renaissance Initiative on Victoria Island.
The appearance was unexpected, as HUE delighted the audience by closing the show with D'Banj modeling a gorgeous gold hoodie.
HUE’s signature blend of Nigerian fabrics with luxury couture was beautifully showcased in their “Blossom” collection, featuring bold, vibrant prints and elegant designs.
“We are delighted to have been a part of this incredible platform that promotes sustainability and empowers emerging designers. Our Blossom collection celebrates individuality, confidence and the vibrant spirit of Nigerian fashion,” said HUE founder Abisoye Olorunnimbe.
The star-studded event, which included celebrities such as Bisola, Aiyeola, Mimi Onalaja, Kate Henshaw and Funke Kuti, aligned with Lanre Da Silva Ajayi's mission to promote collaboration and sustainability in fashion.
Commenting on the importance of the project, Lanre Da Silva said: “The Lanre Da Silva Ajayi (LDA) Runway Renaissance aims to empower the fashion industry by supporting talented designers and small-scale producers who prioritize sustainability. By providing a platform for these emerging creatives, we aim to inspire a more conscious approach to fashion, benefiting both people and the planet.”
