Fashion Spotlight: Akin Faminu and Kiky Festus Dazzle at Lagos Fashion Week 2025
There’s something magical about the intersection of love and fashion, and Akin Faminu and Kiky Festus showcased just that on the runway at Lagos Fashion Week 2025. This dynamic duo turned heads while presenting looks from LFJ’s latest collection, Orient of Africa—a special line commemorating the designer’s five-year journey in the fashion world.
Kiky’s gown was an absolute showstopper. Crafted with ochre peach and blush pink spirals, the structured pleats of her dress danced gracefully as she walked, reminiscent of delicate origami art. Each fold and twist was masterfully designed, elevating the concept of fashion into a theatrical performance right there on the runway.
Akin, too, made a bold statement, proving that menswear can indeed carry a touch of adventurous spirit. He donned sheer white trousers paired with a crinkled jacket that flowed effortlessly with his movements. Adding an element of intrigue was a brown patterned panel that contrasted beautifully against the other textures of his ensemble. To amplify his standout look, he accessorized with a wide-brimmed black hat and dark sunglasses—perfectly encapsulating modern chic.
Reflecting on the experience, Akin remarked, “We were taken on a journey to the ‘Orient of Africa’ with the LFJ debut Menswear collection, and of course, I was wearing an Off the Runway Piece from this beautiful collection.” This subtle blend of personal sentiment and exquisite design reminded attendees that fashion is not just about clothes but about stories and cultural journeys.
LFJ’s Orient of Africa collection emphasized bold shapes, vibrant textures, and layered designs, forcing onlookers to engage with the garments on a deeper level—these weren’t just pieces to observe; they were created to be felt. As the lights dimmed and the final walk concluded, one couldn’t help but feel a sense of anticipation for what’s to come next from this stylish couple at Lagos Fashion Week 2025.
With such daring ensembles and a palpable passion for fashion, Akin and Kiky are sure to steal the spotlight in future runway shows. So, keep your eyes peeled; the best might be yet to come!
