Princess Adesile has once again proven that culture, when worn with pride, can command the global stage. From the historic streets of Ijebu Ode to the vibrant catwalks of London, she brought the essence of Yoruba tradition to the Africa Fashion Week London (AFWL) 2025 runway in a moment that felt nothing short of history in the making.
Crowned as the Cultural Face of AFWL 2025, Adesile didn’t just model clothes — she embodied a statement. “Our culture is timeless, regal, and worthy of every spotlight on the global stage,” she declared, turning the runway into a celebration of heritage and identity.

Her appearance featured the splendor of Ojude Oba, curated with regberegbes and eleshins, a powerful nod to the grandeur of Yoruba pageantry. With the guidance of Queen Ronke Ademiluyi-Ogunwusi and the AFWL team, Adesile transformed the catwalk into a cultural showcase, bridging continents with elegance and pride.

This journey wasn’t hers alone. She paid heartfelt tribute to her backbone — her family, partner, best friend, and manager — acknowledging the support system that fuels her rise. She also extended gratitude to those who believed in her vision and celebrated her milestones.
For Adesile, this is more than fashion. It is proof that Nigerian and African culture belongs not just in local festivals but under the brightest lights of the world stage. Her story echoes a truth: when culture meets confidence, it becomes a global force.
