Seun Kuti Struts Paris Fashion Week Runway
Seun's participation at the Casablanca event highlights the global allure of African talent
Seun Kuti’s show-stopping debut at the Casablanca ‘Day of Victory’ event during Paris Fashion Week.
the seventh day of Paris Fashion Week, the crème de la crème of the fashion world gathered, and in struts Seun Kuti, oozing charisma and style. The man confidently owned the runway, flaunting an avant-garde ensemble called “Stuntman on Set.” And let me tell you, it was a sight to behold!
The outfit itself was a masterpiece—a fusion of white and green, with a flag-inspired stripe in mesmerizing shades of blue and green. It wasn’t just fashion; it was a statement. Seun didn’t just walk; he left an indelible imprint on the event, proving that Nigerian talent is a force to be reckoned with on the global stage.
I caught up with Charaf Tajer, the brains behind Casablanca, in an exclusive post-show interview with Hypebae. He spilled the beans on the collection’s inspiration—Nigeria’s vibrant youth culture, revolutionary design talent, and unparalleled potential. It’s amazing to see the world taking notice of the rich tapestry of African influence in the fashion scene.
Seun Kuti’s strut down the runway was more than a fashion moment; it was a celebration of the global allure of African talent. It’s a reminder that when it comes to style, Africa is not just on the map—it’s defining the map.
But hold on, because the fashion frenzy doesn’t stop there. Let’s talk about another heavyweight in the music and fashion scene—Davido. In 2021, he stepped into the spotlight as a prominent Puma ambassador and brand representative, cementing his status as a fashion icon.

Davido took the runway by storm at Puma’s “Futrograde” show, sporting a killer matching tracksuit ensemble. The cherry on top? Eye-catching maroon PUMA hand gloves and a chic black fur bucket hat. Now, that’s how you turn a fashion show into a fashion moment!
These two icons, Seun Kuti and Davido, are rewriting the narrative and proving that Africa is not just a source of inspiration; it’s a force shaping the future of fashion. So, here’s to breaking boundaries, setting trends, and making Nigeria proud on the global stage. Nigeria to the world, indeed! 🌍✨ #FashionRevolution #AfricanTalent #NigeriaToTheWorld #TheNigerianReporter
