Nigerian Musicians Who Have Taken Afrobeats Style to Fashion Week Runways
Nigerian musicians are increasingly bringing their star power from the stage to fashion week runways in Lagos, London, Milan and Paris. These appearances show how closely Afrobeats, personal style and contemporary fashion now intersect. Wizkid made history at Dolce & Gabbana’s Milan menswear show, while Tiwa Savage walked Naomi Campbell’s Fashion for Relief charity runway in London. Burna Boy, Davido, Ayra Starr and Rema have also modelled for major local and international fashion houses. Rising artists including Taves, Bayanni and Magixx have joined the trend through Lagos Fashion Week and designer showcases. Their runway moments are helping to expand the influence of Nigerian music within streetwear, luxury fashion and youth culture. The list also highlights a gender gap, with male musicians appearing more frequently on runways. More opportunities for female Afrobeats artists could bring even wider creative representation to the fashion space.
