Introduction to Iamisigo’s Debut<\/h1>\n

After winning the prestigious Zalando’s Visionary Award in January, Bubu Ogisi is set to make a debut at Copenhagen Fashion Week on Wednesday. This marks a significant milestone for the Lagos-based designer, who will be presenting a collection for spring\/summer 2026 in the Danish capital.<\/p>\n

Background of Iamisigo<\/h2>\n

Iamisigo started as an independent brand in 2009 and was renamed in 2013 with the debut collection ’11 Voltaire’, which featured a small selection of hand-painted pieces. The brand has since evolved, with Ogisi aiming to expand its reach to a new audience and push beyond the African border.<\/p>\n

Creative Vision<\/h3>\n

Ogisi’s creative practice is centered around using fashion as a medium to decolonize the mind and question the relationship between the West and craft and design. This ethos is at the core of Iamisigo’s work, driving the brand’s mission to challenge boundaries and explore new frontiers.<\/p>\n

Upcoming Collection<\/h4>\n

The upcoming collection at Copenhagen Fashion Week promises to be an unforgettable showcase, with Ogisi aiming to create a lasting impression. "It’s about seeing how we can cross the limits of our work and push beyond the African border, which is essentially the ethos of what we do," Ogisi explains. With this debut, Iamisigo is poised to make a significant impact on the global fashion scene.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
