What I wore to MAD red carpet
What I wore to the @Festival M.A.D. red carpet. African designers will always have my heart. ❤️
For the occasion, I had to wear this incredible dress by LFJ. The movement, the pleating, the silhouette, the way the light hits it… I’m obsessed.
There’s something about African fashion that gets me every single time. The creativity, the craftsmanship, the shapes, the storytelling—it deserves to be seen, celebrated, and worn. And this yellow was made for golden hour.
Attending the Festival M.A.D. red carpet was an unforgettable experience, especially when dressed in a piece that truly speaks to the heart of African fashion. Wearing the LFJ dress, I experienced firsthand the unique blend of artistry and culture that African designers infuse into their creations. The pleating and movement of the dress made it perfect for dynamic events like this, with every step bringing the fabric to life. What I love about African fashion is how it tells a story—not just through colors or shapes, but through the skill, passion, and tradition behind each garment. The silhouette of this dress was tailored beautifully, highlighting the importance of structure in African design. And choosing a yellow hue for golden hour wasn’t just a color choice, but a way to celebrate the warmth and vibrancy that these designers embody. This experience reminded me how important it is to support and elevate designers from Africa, whose innovative approach is reshaping global fashion. Whether it’s the creases of pleats, the bold yet elegant colors, or the intricate craftsmanship, African fashion deserves a spotlight on every prestigious runway and red carpet. Wearing such a dress isn’t merely about style; it’s about celebrating culture, creativity, and identity.
