It is that time of the year when fashion takes centre stage once again. The menswear Paris Fashion Week has officially kicked off and A-list celebrities have been making an appearance.
Among them is South African sensation Shimza, a renowned DJ and producer known for his contributions to the Afro-tech music scene, who was spotted in the front row attending the 424 by Guillermo Andrade Spring/Summer 2026 runway show.
Andrade’s innovative fashion brand brought high-fashion to life in a show-stopping collaboration with Porsche, where sleek cars met cutting-edge couture in a visually stunning show.
As seen on Shimza’s Instagram post that features a series of pictures and videos of the event, the show opened with a parade of vintage Porsches cruising through Monnaie de Paris, where models strutted among a collection of luxurious vintage sports cars on the runway, all dressed in 424’s collection.
The grunge-inspired looks range from tight t-shirts and torn jeans to biker jackets, with some hints of colour added to the collection.
Additionally, Shimza has been enjoying his time in France, mingling with A-listers like Nigerian Afrobeats artist Rema and fashion icon Wisdom Kaye
