Clothes inspired by Architecture – UGHA MI Collection

 

 

UGHA MI, translating to ‘My Compound’ in Itsekiri, invites wearers into a universe where
architecture and fashion intertwine. This collection reimagines homes as the perfect blend of
function, aesthetics, and identity.

 

 

Serving as a Dukun manifesto, UGHA MI delves deep into our dedication to product-led design.
It embodies the essence of our compound, showcasing the textures, materials, and techniques
that form its foundation.

We push the boundaries of fabric manipulation, transforming conventional fabrics and
reinterpreting familiar silhouettes. Guided by geometry, meticulous finishing, and attention to
detail, each piece embodies the comfort and freedom of home, allowing for authentic
self-expression.

 

 

Designed and produced entirely in-house by a small team with materials sourced from Lagos,
UGHA MI is a visually captivating and technically proficient collection. Its deliberate
deconstruction reflects our ongoing quest to redefine and refine our aesthetic through clothing.

Explore all 15 looks from the incredible collection.
