D’Banj Shines in HUE on Lanre Da Silva Fashion Runway 

Nigerian music superstar D’banj stole the spotlight at Lanre Da Silva’s Runway Renaissance Initiative, recently held in Victoria Island, Lagos.

Closing the show for HUE, a rising Nigerian fashion brand led by Abisoye Olorunnimbe, the ‘Koko Master’ wowed the audience with his striking look. HUE, known for its signature blend of Nigerian fabrics and luxury haute couture, presented its ‘Blossom’ collection—a vibrant display of bold prints and elegant designs. D’banj wore a standout golden hoodie embellished with African prints that captured the essence of the collection.

“Our Blossom collection celebrates individuality, confidence, and the vibrant spirit of Nigerian fashion,” said Olorunnimbe.

A University of Manchester law graduate with over a decade of experience, Olorunnimbe has elevated HUE to one of Nigeria’s fastest-rising fashion brands. “By sourcing unique fabrics worldwide and blending Nigerian textiles with haute couture, we aim to put the country’s talent on the global stage sustainably,” she added.

HUE has graced different fashion shows in Nigeria and abroad and is a regular participant at GTBank Fashion Week, Adire Lagos, and Fashion Souk, among others.

The star-studded event featured appearances from celebrities like Bisola, Aiyeola, Mimi Onalaja, Kate Henshaw and Funke Kuti, aligning with Lanre Da Silva Ajayi’s mission to promote collaboration and sustainability in fashion.

Speaking on the significance 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 seek to inspire a more conscious approach to fashion, benefiting both people and the planet.”
