Keep scrolling to view all the stunning runway looks from day four.

Day four of Lagos Fashion Week began with bubbly champagne under the chandelier at the Kilentar showcase. But there was so much more waiting for the city of Lagos on the runway. The night unfolded in layers of textures and colors—from fluid tailoring and shimmering beads to silhouettes that pushed boundaries. Designers leaned into movement and meaning. It was a night filled with designs that mixed with tradition to create beautiful pieces. Lagos is cementing itself as one of the top fashion cities in the world with the pieces that graced the runway on this day. Below are our highlights from the fourth day.

Ajabeng Ghana

Known for its signature combination of structure and ease, Ajabeng Ghana played with black, gold, orange, yellow, and blue free-flowing pieces. Every look carried a relaxed proportion. The collection explored freedom and form. It was a testament to how structure can still feel soft.

Oshobor

If there’s one thing Oshobor has mastered, it’s the art of performance on the runway. Models walked with props, turning fashion into theater. This collection moved between shimmer and softness—black and gold, sensual lace, and a standout red piece that drew gasps. It was daring and filled with symbolism.

Green Access Presentation

The Green Access presentation spotlighted a new wave of sustainable creativity. Designers explored waste, reuse, and rebirth in fashion. Unrefyned and Adage Studio Projects came together to feature experimental pieces made from sustainable materials. Ndiiche & Sinae went with vibrant reds, coral beads, and structured bags rooted in heritage. Left of Yaba & Jilk kept things casual with denim looks and easy pieces. Together, they told a story of how fashion can be responsible and stylish.

E.S.O by Liman

E.S.O by Liman’s show began with a monochrome jacket removed to reveal a glittering jumpsuit. From handmade dresses to beaded pieces, the runway floor shimmered as models walked.

Cynthia Abila

Cynthia Abila’s runway felt like a painting in motion. There were orange and black checkered sets, white pieces with art printed on them, and radiant tie-dye fabrics that caught the light beautifully. A yellow dress with an oversized headwrap stole the crowd’s attention. Each outfit felt like a story had been drawn into fabric.

Pettre Taylor

Pettre Taylor’s show was one to watch. It opened with a white fluid two-piece that set the tone for an exploration of unstructured tailoring. The palette stayed neutral with soft, minimalist pieces that emphasized ease and sophistication.

Adama Paris

Adama Paris explored fluidity and softness in a palette of browns, yellows, and muted greens. Flowing bubu dresses, sheer dresses, and off-shoulder silhouettes embodied quiet luxury. A fitted two-piece with feathered hems and a gradient orange-to-yellow dress shimmered with motion.

Nkwo

Nkwo closed the night with playful rebellion. Patchwork denim, Aso Oke, and ruffled textures met in a collection that was both nostalgic and new. From structured, schoolgirl-inspired pieces to free, flirtatious silhouettes, the designer’s mastery of upcycled textiles was on full display. It was denim with depth.

Kilentar

Kilentar’s collection was sultry yet sophisticated. There were beaded pieces, sheer lace framed with raffia fringe, and Aso Oke reimagined into modern styles.

“It’s the art of becoming, and in Yoruba, Surulere means patience is rewarding. So I really wanted to do something that took time. I wanted to create a peaceful collection—10 pieces—just because this collection was created at a time in life where I felt like I needed to slow down. The collection took a lot of patience, just creating pieces with more intention as we always do, while still showcasing that craftsmanship,” Michelle Adepoju shared with Guzang.

Moment of the Day

A major moment for day four was the Heineken City of Light showcase. It opened with a traditional dance that occurred concurrently while models walked the runway. There were also renditions of different songs by performers as models walked. Some songs performed were “Guitar Boy,” “Joy is Coming,” and “In Your Eyes.” A close second major moment was the masquerade performance by a model for Oshobor. The model’s face was painted black, and they walked in a black dress while dancing with lanterns.

One Short Trend

Fringes and beads dominated day four, seen across Kilentar, E.S.O by Liman, and Pettre Taylor. Whether they were dangling from sleeves or trailing hems, these details reflected movement, sensuality, and craftsmanship.
