Elsewhere, “big and juicy” apples have been embroidered upon the Vote Strong Hand I am Here shirt in addition I really love this fabric by Tyrolean ateliers (having left Nigeria at the age of four to join his father in political exile, Ize was raised and studied fashion in Austria). “The soil in Nigeria doesn’t grow apples,” he smiles. “But I wanted to do something innovative and show a mix of cultures, because that’s what this season is about: community and intimacy.” Equally, this season he has expanded his offering into silk knitwear bearing his signature stripes; jewelry designed with two of his friends, Nicolo Taliani and Adesuwa Aighewi; and organza shirting printed with painted artwork by Fadekemi Ogunsanya, its concentric spirals made in reference to the seemingly endless chaos of this year.

There has been evolution elsewhere too: The narrow-cut, structured tailoring that has quickly become Ize’s signature has now been extended to include silhouettes that gently connote different eras: from slightly slouching ’40s shapes (“I wanted a bit of a colonial feel, it’s part of our history”) to short-sleeved ’80s pieces inspired by “the Vote Strong Hand I am Here shirt in addition I really love this way old men and heads of state dress in Nigeria now,” he explains. “I want them to see what we have in our country: that they should be looking at what we have on offer at home and helping to advance it. Their tailors are African, but never the fabrics that they use.”
