Nigerian creative Azeez Owokoniran created IGO as an innovative fashion entity to juxtapose the dark, tactical cyberpunk experience to high-end streetwear. The all black signature IGO color palette combined with high-quality performance fabrics like leather and kevlar create a timeless look that blends the sensibility of high fashion with the functionality of streetwear. Cutting edge hardware finishes and multitudes of silhouettes deliver a luxury dystopian design language IGO proudly expresses in all garments.

IGO is set to release its debut collection in April 2022, featuring their leather-clad, techie aesthetic. Among the various items included, the highlights are definitely the flared Solidus leather utility pants, the “Collector” a magnetized leather item holder, and their woven alloy survival sling with metallic tracers. IGO  also plans to develop  AR applications and SMART materials in garments to bridge the utility of clothing in the physical and digital worlds.

“IGO to me is a culmination of all of my childhood influences manifesting themselves in the form of fashion. I grew up playing video games like Metal Gear Solid, Kingdom Hearts, Fallout, and watching shit like Game Of Thrones. The world building and character design in these early childhood experiences had a huge impact on my style and the way I chose to carry myself. I've always felt like expressing myself through fashion was the most instinctual way for me to tell my story and connect with like-minded people. With IGO I feel like I can speak my language. I can feel like a rockstar, be a nerd, be street and polished at the same time.”
