Runway Jazz 2025
Runway Jazz 2025 returned to Lagos under the captivating theme “Timeless Return,” blending world-class jazz, high fashion, and Nigerian cultural expression in a single unforgettable evening. Held on October 5, 2025, at the Landmark Centre, the event reaffirmed Lagos’ position as a global hub where music and style intersect.
Headlined by Grammy-winning jazz icon Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra (JLCO), the festival also featured stellar performances by Made Kuti, Timi Dakolo, Yinka Davies, Jerry Omole, and comedian Kenny Blaq, alongside an a-cappella ensemble that thrilled the audience. On the runway, top Nigerian fashion figures such as Mai Atafo and Reni Folawiyo (Alára) curated bold, expressive showcases that celebrated African creativity and design innovation.
Krabhouse was honoured to present Wynton Marsalis with a parting gift, as a thank you on behalf of the program and fellow Nigerians. Runway Jazz 2025 embodied a spirit of cultural fusion and continuity—highlighting Nigeria’s evolving influence in global arts while honoring its deep musical and fashion heritage.
