Davido Wears Made-in-Sierra Leone Outfit at Gbamgbaode Festival

Global Afrobeats star Davido headlined the Gbamgbaode Festival in Freetown last night, taking the stage in a custom ensemble designed to showcase Sierra Leonean craftsmanship and cultural identity.

The performance outfit was the result of a collaboration between renowned stylist and designer Hollyandroo and the local fashion house Mumini Fashion Empire. According to the design team, the partnership aimed to merge the artist’s global brand with locally sourced materials and symbols of national pride.

The collaboration was initiated by Hollyandroo weeks prior to the event, with a specific focus on utilizing local production methods. The ensemble featured distinct elements from both designers:
The Jacket: Designed by Hollyandroo, the custom piece featured Davido’s name, his signature “30BG” insignia, and the Sierra Leone national flag.

The Pants and Hat: Crafted by Mumini Fashion Empire, these items were made using locally sourced raffia. They featured a heart motif inspired by the colors of the Sierra Leone flag.
