Published

Akin Faminu knows exactly who he is when it comes to style, and that clarity shows in everything he wears. His latest shoot, captioned “Matcha” and photographed by Kimilokan, is proof of that.

He wore an oversized, single-breasted blazer from Cruxin a bright chartreuse with a distinct, heavy textured weave, structured shoulders and wide lapels. He paired it with oversized, wide-leg trousers in an olive-to-forest green gradient. The pants featured ripped detailing near the thighs and a contrasting pattern around the hem.

His accessories included a leather duffle bag in glossy, bright Kelly green featuring dual handles and front utility pockets, also from Crux.xyz. A metallic gold brooch shaped like a hand was pinned to the right lapel of the blazer. He added round dark-tinted sunglasses with a thin frame, a thin choker-style necklace, and multiple rings. He completed the look with rounded-toe platform shoes that mirror the bright lime yellow of the blazer, peeking out from beneath the wide trouser hems.

It has been a busy year for Faminu personally too. He married Kiky Festus in April this year. He was also at Ojude Oba 2026 last week, wearing a layered Aso-Oke look in rich wine, gold and blue tones that many people could not stop sharing. A full year by any measure, and his style has kept up with every moment of it

His tailored shoot for Deji and Kola shows the other side of his personal style entirely. Burgundy and navy blazer, cream trousers, dark loafers from Adamskahz, and a tan leather briefcase from Deji and Kola. Quiet, sharp, and just as considered.
