Akin Faminu Brought Two Different Fashion Stories to Paris Fashion Week

While runway collections remained the main attraction at Paris Fashion Week, the streets surrounding the shows continued to offer another style showcase. Among those in attendance was Nigerian medical doctor and fashion influencer Akin Faminu, who appeared in two different looks that reflected his long-standing approach to personal style.

For his first appearance, he wore a two-piece outfit by Trax Apparel a cropped, long-sleeved jacket and matching high-waisted flared trousers. The jacket featured blocks of olive green, navy blue, deep red and yellow, with abstract face designs on the front that gave it a rooted look. He paired the outfit with a black cowboy hat, dark sunglasses and cowrie-shell rings.

The look combined bold colours with structured tailoring, while carefully selected accessories completed the outfit.

For his second look, Akin Faminu switched to a coordinated brown outfit that combined traditional dressing with modern tailoring. He wore a loose-fitting long-sleeved top with wide sleeves, paired with high-waisted wide-leg trousers. A matching wrap detail around the waist added structure to the outfit while maintaining its relaxed silhouette. He paired it with brown Yoruba fila finished with a side fringe, tinted sunglasses, layered necklaces, gold bracelets and statement rings, wearing a brown woven leather slip-on loafers, keeping the entire appearance within the same earthy palette.

Fashion has remained an important part of Akin Faminu’s public identity for several years. Beyond his work as a medical doctor, he has built a reputation for championing African designers and presenting traditional craftsmanship in contemporary ways. Whether attending fashion weeks, award ceremonies or cultural events, his outfits often combine modern tailoring with details that reference Africa’s rich heritage, making each appearance part of a broader fashion conversation.

Akin Faminu has long used fashion as an extension of his public identity. Across international appearances, he has consistently highlighted African designers and their work, and his latest Paris Fashion Week outfits continued that tradition through two different styles of menswear.
