Brand influencer and fashion trendsetter Dede Ashiogwu turned heads at the Mothers of Chibok documentary premiere in Lagos, delivering a striking fashion moment that spoke as loudly as the film’s powerful message.
Stepping out in a mint green asooke co-ord that fused modern edge with traditional elegance, Ashiogwu reminded industry watchers why she is steadily becoming one of the most talked-about fashion voices of her generation. Her look — textured, bold, and intentional — set the tone for an evening dedicated to amplifying one of Nigeria’s most important stories.
Sharing her perspective on the event, Dede captioned her post: “Less perfection, more authenticity.” The message quickly resonated with followers, who praised her for embracing genuine self-expression in a space often dominated by curated perfection.
More than just a red carpet appearance, Ashiogwu’s presence underscored her growing influence as a style curator who understands how to align fashion with meaning. She did not just show up. She made a statement.
Directed by Emmy-winning filmmaker Joel “Kachi” Benson and executively produced by Joke Silva, Mothers of Chibok highlights the resilience and hope of mothers affected by the 2014 Chibok girls’ abduction and is currently screening in cinemas across Nigeria and Ghana.
