Wizkid, Asake Shine at Louis Vuitton Paris Men's Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2027
Nigerian music stars Wizkid and Asake attended the Louis Vuitton Menswear Spring/Summer 2027 presentation during Paris Men's Fashion Week in France, held from June 24 to June 28, 2026. The show, curated by Men's Creative Director Pharrell Williams, transformed a section of Paris into a beach-inspired landscape with a sandy runway and wave-themed set, described by the house as 'an ode to the surfing community.' Wizkid and Asake sat alongside international stars such as French basketball sensation Victor Wembanyama, American rapper Missy Elliott, actor Jeremy Allen White, rapper Lil Baby and Beninese singer Angelique Kidjo.
Their presence highlights the growing influence of Nigerian and African talent on global luxury fashion, signaling more opportunities for local creatives to collaborate with international brands, secure endorsements, and showcase Nigerian culture on world stages. As Paris Men's Fashion Week continues with shows from Dior Homme, Saint Laurent, Kenzo, Amiri, Dries Van Noten, Yohji Yamamoto, Rick Owens, Issey Miyake, Hermes, Lanvin, Sacai and Celine, industry watchers will be watching for further celebrity moments and emerging trends.
What does this growing visibility mean for Nigerian designers, models or musicians hoping to break into global markets, and how might local talent leverage these moments for career growth?
