The night kicked off with an exhilarating dance performance that ignited the energy in the room. Immediately after the performance, the runway came alive as models strutted down, showcasing the fresh new pieces. From statement-making jackets to funky bucket hats and edgy crop tops, the designs screamed streetwear with a twist—bold, edgy, and perfect for the unconventional.

The night reached a peak when Nigerian rapper Ladipoe—a key figure in the campaign—took the stage for a live performance. His dynamic set had the crowd on their feet, with his infectious beats and powerful lyrics perfectly complementing the evening’s free-spirited vibe. Wearing one of the designed pieces, Ladipoe’s performance reinforced the event's message of fearless creativity and bold self-expression.
