On the 29th of November, 2025, the Isimi Festival’s evening segment kicked off with its first immersive fashion experience. The primary objective of this fashion experience was to showcase Isimi’s innovative mind. A mind where nature, technology, and effortless elegance can perfectly intertwine.
On arrival, guests were handed silent-disco headphones so they could be fully aware of how each look came with a sound different from the others. Listening to the music specifically chosen for a brand helped one better understand the ideas behind the designs. The virtual reality section, however, was the cherry on top. Through virtual reality, interested guests were given access to the universe where the visions, sketches, and ideas behind the designs were actualized.
The fashion show introduced a mix of brow-raising, eye-catching designs that definitely prompted discussions among guests. The Meme Rocha models graced the runway with beautiful designs that promoted the brand’s main tenets (quality, premium, and attention to detail). They were followed by the designs of Liv & Eve, a brand that creates women’s outfits so they can feel like the main characters in every space they step into. Liv & Eve transitioned into eü1987, a fashion label 100% centred on linen bespoke wears, and after we moved away from the world of eü1987, we were welcomed into the universe of Nitémi. This brand promises to create timeless pieces for our happiest moments.
Black Adudu was one of our favourite designs of the night. The celebration of African royalty was quite stunning. Minengiby showed us dresses that felt familiar yet unique. While cups of creamy pasta were being served to the guests, Bornstarng (BNG) ended the show with striking outfits further complemented by the bags in the models’ hands.
Once the event ended, guests were promptly transported to the main field for the after-party. Watching dancers entrance the guests with their moves was a surreal experience, and the way the dance session seamlessly moved to the concert was even more amazing. The thrilling performances by Made Kuti, Loud Choir, and The Cavemen left every guest satisfied and inspired by the festival. This is a perfect reminder that Isimi Festival is not just a festival but an experience. A completely exhilarating experience.
