Lagos shimmered with glamour as Lanre Da Silva Ajayi (LDA) celebrated 20 years of redefining African luxury fashion. The anniversary showcase on November 16th was more than a runway; it was a tribute to a visionary whose mastery of lace, embellishment, and couture craftsmanship has taken African fashion across global stages.

 

The night opened with a soulful performance from Waje, while Tiwa Savage brought a stunning close as the final looks of the SSS26 Anniversary Collection floated down the runway. Supermodels and stars, including Dabota Lawson, Idia Aisen, Nancy Isime, Sabrina, Aduke Shittabay, and Beauty Tukura, lit up the catwalk.

 

A heartfelt documentary reflecting LDA’s journey moved the audience, celebrating her resilience and evolution. In true mentor spirit, LDA spotlighted rising designers, Bisoye Olorunmbe, Ugochukwu Onukwubiri, and Garcelle Williams, earning thunderous applause.

 

Produced by Elizabeth Elohor, the event drew heavyweights like Don Jazzy, Toke Makinwa, Mercy Eke, and Osas Ighodaro.
