The excitement began on Saturday with runway shows from designers like Ninie, May Africa, Elpis Megalio, Jewel Jemila, Ibilola Ogundipe, Lohije, Xu Zhi, and Selly Raby Kane. Each designer presented a distinctive aesthetic, displaying African fashion and drawing admiration.

As much as the runway, the street style around the event created a spectacle of its own. Some guests wore feathery wings, gliding through the venue like mythical creatures. Others stole the spotlight with bold, eye-catching outfits. One standout, the “sunflower goddess,” turned heads in a gown of golden petals that bloomed as she moved. Another guest embraced an alien-inspired look, shimmering in metallic shades with intricate face paint that caught the lights.
