Based between  Lagos, Nairobi and Accra, Ogisi works with small artisan communities across  the continent to create collections which spotlight a variety of indigenous textile  traditions.\r\n\nThis ensemb;e  is from IAMISIGO’s Spring/Summer 2019 collection, ‘Gods of the  Wilderness’. For this collection Ogisi was inspired by traditional west African  abstract performance art, and the unique visual identity and traditions of  adornment which have been created by different individual cultural groups. The  mixing of colour was a strong feature in this collection, referencing ancient west  African masquerade costumes.  This ensemble comprises a handwoven, multi- coloured wool dress, a blue net veil made from recycled fishing net and  embellished with yellow wool fringes, and velvet slippers. The wool yarn was  dyed in Maitsidau, Kano state, Nigeria, and the mask was created in  collaboration with visual artist Chioma Ebenema using recycled polyamide  fishing nets and wool yarn.","physicalDescription":"Handwoven shift-style wool dress, multicoloured horizontal stripes.
