Social media personality Enioluwa Adeoluwa has strongly condemned the public ridicule directed at men wearing unconventional outfits at the 2026 GTCO Fashion Week.
In a statement shared on X, Adeoluwa criticized critics for selectively amplifying videos of avant-garde looks to push a narrative that society is “losing its men,” while deliberately ignoring the majority of attendees dressed in standard shirts and trousers.
”It is a FASHION SHOW. A FASHION SHOW! Nobody is losing anything,” he emphasized.
Addressing the backlash, Adeoluwa suggested that individuals seeking traditional expressions of masculinity would find them in appropriate venues like football stadiums and gyms, rather than policing a creative runway event. He cautioned social media users and public figures against fueling narratives that expose attendees to hostility and public mockery.

Highlighting the realities of the creative sector, Adeoluwa pointed out that men working in tailoring, hair salons, and other fashion-adjacent industries have long embraced unique personal styles, questioning why public surprise arises only when these expressions are seen in the spotlight.
”These people are simply working, earning a living and minding their business. Let them be! Don’t make videos of them,” he concluded.
