Afrobeats meets avant-garde tailoring — and suddenly, Paris had to pay attention.

Davido turned heads at Paris Fashion Week in a sharp Thom Browne ensemble styled by the legendary Jenke Ahmed Tailly (you probably know him as Le Jenke), the creative visionary celebrated for marrying African heritage with modern couture. Together, the duo created a moment that felt less like fashion and more like a cultural flex — precise, poetic, and proudly global.

Le Jenke, who has styled icons like Beyoncé and Kanye West, described the collaboration as a fusion of “energy and intention.” His words weren’t just soundbites; they were proof of how deeply aligned both creatives are in vision and presence. “He represents a generation that moves between worlds — African, international, timeless,” he said. “Thom Browne’s craftsmanship gave that energy a new kind of structure, a quiet power that felt right for Paris.”

That quiet power spoke volumes. The look — crisp lines, deliberate proportion, and that unmistakable Browne precision — framed Davido as more than just a music star. He became a symbol of how African artistry now moves at the same rhythm as global luxury.

From Lagos beats to Paris streets, Davido isn’t just attending fashion week — he’s rewriting what front-row dominance looks like. Because when Afrobeats royalty meets fashion architecture, the result is culture in couture form.
