Chioma Ikokwu never misses an opportunity to put fashion from the continent front and centre. For the opening of Africa Now at Galeries Lafayette, one of Europe’s most iconic luxury retail destinations, the entrepreneur and style star stepped out in a stunning look by Nigerian fashion brand Hertunba.

Sharing photos from the event on Instagram, Chioma reflected on the significance of the moment, writing:
“As someone who has always championed African fashion, seeing our designers celebrated within one of Europe’s most renowned luxury retail destinations felt deeply meaningful. It was a beautiful reminder that African excellence belongs on every global stage.”


Her words capture what made the occasion so special. Beyond the glamour and style, the Africa Now showcase represents a growing recognition of African designers and their contributions to the global fashion industry. And in Hertunba, Chioma chose a look that embodied exactly that spirit of creativity, innovation, and excellence.
