Iconic black supermodel — Naomi Campbell dons a glided hand-crafted brass frock designed and constructed by Nigerian creative director — Bubu Ogisi of IAMISIGO for Victoria’s Secret‘s star-studded The Tour campaign.
Bubu is based in Lagos, Nigeria and cast as a fashion designer
alongside Korty Eniola Olanrewaju (Filmmaker), Eloghosa Osunde (Artist), Ashley Okoli (Artist) and Wavy The Creator (Multifaceted Creative) as VS20 House Of Lagos, to
showcase art centred on the appreciation and beauty of womanhood leading
audiences through their behind-the-scenes artistic process and personal
narratives.
IAMISIGO describes her pieces as nomadic-conscious wearable art traditionally handcrafted in Africa. Naomi’s halterneck look was accentuated with butt-length sleeky-straight hair featuring tapered trims that flawlessly framed her face by JAWARA and latte makeup by Pat McGrath.
IAMISIGO also spoke about the
inspiration for the exceptional ensemble spotted on Naomi and shared sneak
peeks from behind the production scenes on Instagram, keep scrolling to
explore:
With this body of work, we continued our exploration in exalting the
divine feminine, this collection continues our scope into examining and
understanding us beyond being human beings through the idea of divinity. We
create and destroy, are we gods or descendants of gods?
Cloth is an important
indication of numinous presence in the worship of the moral inquisitors. Each
piece is possessed in infinite cloths and layering as a sign of majesty. Earth
is thus the mirror. Through earth, all prayers reach the gods. Much energy is
spent maintaining good relations with the deities and ancestors and warding off
bad fate and negativity.
Naomi represents the deity — Yemoja. As
the protective deity of women and mother of all spirits, Yemoja governs everything pertaining to women,
parenthood, child safety, love, and healing.
The brass shapes
represent a road map to the truth, written in copper and zinc, this is a script
of undying ecstasy, giving of children from the fluids of the womb, and of the
mother’s protection of her children as unyielding as stones in water.
The goddess, cloth
cascading from her head to toe on either side is mirrored by a female figure,
representing a devotee or daughter.
