IAMISIGO’s SS26 collection Dual Mandate reclaims a colonial phrase, transforming it into a personal philosophy: self-preservation and perception, protection and openness to be adorned and aware. It sees the body as a bio-electric landscape of body, mind, spirit and emotion, tuned through grounding fibres like cotton, sisal, raffia, and jute and radiant metals, glass, and plastics.

Using ancestral techniques like hand-weaving, chainmail forging, glass blowing, and fibre knotting, each piece carries dual energies: hardness and tenderness, stillness and motion, presence and prayer. Dual Mandate is a quiet revolution in perception, dressing for both the world we walk through and the one vibrating just beyond it.
