Burna Boy, a multi-award-winning Afrobeats artist and global phenomenon, has partnered with French high-fashion label Jean Paul Gaultier for his first-ever designer product partnership.

The Gaultier house enlisted Burna Boy to choose his favorite archival styles, which are now available, in response to fashion’s unrelenting preoccupation with the 1990s (which also happens to be Burna Boy’s birth era) and Jean Paul Gaultier’s strong relationship with that era.

The brand teased the project by hosting a party at its headquarters for Burna Boy’s fans ahead of his Paris performance on the 20th of May 2023 with over 40,000 people in attendance.

Burna selected two styles from Gaultier’s 1990s archive for the collaboration. The two limited-edition styles, which come in four colourways, incorporate some inspiration for Burna Boy’s latest album “Love, Damini” — especially the heart-shaped details and the red lenses.

Styled by his long-term stylist Ronami Ogulu, the Nigerian also posed for a campaign photographed Marcin Kempski in a set designed by Daughter of Lama that pays tribute to iconic music videos from the 1990s.
