If there’s one thing we love about fashion week, it’s the street style. And while the runways might be the main attraction, street style is a great way to get a sense of a city’s style and to enjoy more personality-driven fashion. Case in point? Eki Ogunbor’s Lagos Fashion Week wardrobe.
The Nigerian fashion entrepreneur and style insider knows a thing or two about putting together a look, this fashion week Ogunbor served up a series of outfits that felt very much like her.
We love her confident approach to getting dressed that never takes itself too seriously. Think unexpected accessories, interesting silhouettes and just the right amount of pure fashion girl vibes.
Below, we’re taking a closer look at the standout outfits Eki Ogunbor wore to Lagos Fashion Week.
The Grey Area : Atafo
Who says tailoring has to be conventional? Ogunbor gave the classic grey suit a modern update in a charcoal Atafo set featuring a structured cropped top, relaxed trousers and a matching jacket. Gold accessories, oversized aviator sunglasses and a bright-red fringed Kisara Shakara bag provided the finishing touches.
Pinstripes, Please: Atafo
For another outing, Ogunbor doubled down on tailoring in an oversized black pinstripe suit by Atafo, styled with a shimmering silver bandeau and a textured metallic bag. The result? A masterclass in balancing masculine proportions and feminine details.
A Little Texture Goes a Long Way
Ogunbor also made a case for head-to-toe black, choosing a textured, one-shoulder ensemble from Orange Culture with layers of fringe and dimensional detailing. The real scene-stealer, though, was the vivid orange fringed Shakara which provided an incredibly rich pop of colour
Something Blue
Switching gears entirely, Ogunbor embraced a softer, more romantic aesthetic in a powder-blue look from Shop Luciana Co.
With delicate lace, sweeping sheer layers and a flowing floral skirt, the ensemble kept it fresh with tinted aviators, gold jewellery and her grey-silver Shakara bag kept the look firmly in fashion-insider territory.
A Bold Red
Eki Ogunbor made a statement in a vibrant red Sisiano ensemble featuring a sculptural, layered top and matching trousers. The exaggerated silhouette could easily have overwhelmed her, but we love how confidently she carries the volume. The contrasting orange Shakara aso-oke bag adds a striking finishing touch and one that feels perfectly suited to Eki’s bold approach to fashion.
Chef’s kiss!
