La Mode Entrepreneur Excellence Grant

Green October already has its opening fashion moment, and Erica Nlewedim and Kolapo Omotoso are making sure it looks the part.

Erica

La Mode has unveiled the stylish duo as hosts of this year’s Green October Event, with the pair starring in a striking promotional shoot photographed by Tonie Grapher. Dressed in different takes on emerald green, Erica and Kolapo bring glamour and menswear polish to the campaign.

Erica goes full red-carpet with an off-shoulder mermaid gown covered in sequins, beadwork and floral embroidery. Sheer sleeves add another layer of drama, while her long waves and statement earrings keep the styling firmly in glamorous territory.

Kola

Kolapo takes a richer, more tailored approach. His velvet green ensemble features sparkling embellishments across the shoulders, a matching shirt and trousers, black loafers and his signature sunglasses. The result is sleek without losing the celebratory mood of the shoot.

Both hosts pose with La Mode awards, giving the images a clear connection to the event while letting the fashion take centre stage.

And that contrast is what makes the pairing work. Erica brings the sparkle and drama; Kolapo brings structure and edge. Together, they make a strong visual introduction to an evening that promises plenty of both.

Green October has officially entered its fashion era.
