Iamisigo: Art of Tactile Resistance for S/S 27 | Copenhagen Fashion Week

Explore fashion as a living archive by watching the Iamisigo spring/summer 2027 collection on FashionTV!

Presented as the winner of the Zalando Visionary Prize at Copenhagen Fashion Week, Pan-African slow design house Iamisigo unveiled its S/S 2027 collection, titled “Sacred Ecologies.” Founded by Nigerian creative director Bubu Ogisi and rooted across Lagos, Nairobi, and Accra, the brand presented an immersive, wearable archive that transforms ancestral craft into a living form of political protest, decolonization, and environmental preservation.

Conceived as protective armor for the spirit, the collection draws on indigenous knowledge systems and the pedagogy of the wandering body. Reweaving raw materials sourced across the continent – banana fiber from Uganda, sisal from Tanzania, recycled aluminum from Kenya, and cotton and wooden beads from Nigeria – the 100% artisanal looks blur the line between human form and load-bearing sculpture.

Reclaiming waste through circular hand-crochet and zero-loss weaving, Iamisigo’s S/S 27 presentation proved that African textile heritage is not a static past to be preserved, but an active, sacred, and unyielding language for fashion’s future.
