In keeping with her belief that “making is memory, and process is prophesy,” this nomadic talent has traversed East and West Africa to harness fibres and techniques rooted in care. The softness of cotton, jute, raffia and sisal join the hardness of chainmail, blown glass and plastics in garments and adornments that reverberate with both remembrance and imagining.

Here, Nataal debuts the season’s campaign film, directed by fellow Nigerian artist Daniel Obasi. The visual narrative is told in the shadows, a lidden borderland where glistening masks, folded capes and towering hats are imbued with a luminous emotion.

“With this work I am exploring the interplay of duality, energy and movement as they manifest within a spatial context,” says Obasi. “It draws inspiration from IAMISIGO’s consistently experimental, exploratory and otherworldly design evolution, as well as subtly referencing Alejandro Jodorowsky's film, ‘The Holy Mountain’. We filmed at my Lagos studio, AMAH, from midnight into the early hours, the high elevation and the atmosphere of the shoot creating a profoundly ethereal feeling.”
