Fifteen years in fashion is worth celebrating, and Andrea Iyamah marked the milestone by returning to something that has always inspired design: nature.
On Saturday, 24 October 2026, the Nigerian fashion brand brought guests to Isimi Lagos for an afternoon where fashion, food and the natural landscape came together. It was a fitting setting for a brand that has spent fifteen years building a distinct visual language through bold colour, sculptural silhouettes and African creative influences.
At the heart of the celebration was Rooted, the Fall 2026 collection, accompanied by a preview of the Spring/Summer 2027 collection. Both offered a chance to reflect on how far the brand has come, while looking ahead to what its next chapter might hold.

Rooted in Nature, Designed With Intention
“Nature has been designing this collection for centuries, we just paid attention.”
That thought sits at the centre of Rooted, a collection shaped by the organic structures, forms and details found in nature. Rather than looking to the natural world as a passing reference, Andrea Iyamah approached it as a source of design that has been refining itself long before any designer picked up a sketchbook.
The result is a collection built around intention, with nature informing the creative direction. Its title, Rooted, feels particularly fitting for a brand celebrating fifteen years of growth, experimentation and a strong sense of identity.
For Andrea Iyamah, the collection also presents an opportunity to explore the relationship between the natural world and the clothes we wear, bringing the textures and structures of the outdoors into a fashion setting.
An Afternoon of Fashion at Isimi Lagos
At Isimi Lagos, the anniversary celebration extended beyond the runway. Surrounded by the landscape, guests were invited to experience the brand’s latest collections in a setting that echoed the inspiration behind Rooted.
The afternoon brought together fashion and a farm-to-table dining experience, allowing the occasion to unfold at a different pace from the usual fashion calendar. Between the runway presentation, conversations and the setting itself, the celebration created space for guests to connect with the clothes, the people behind the brand and the journey that brought everyone there.
The Spring/Summer 2027 unveiling added another layer to the occasion, offering a glimpse of what is next for Andrea Iyamah. With Rooted looking closely at nature, the anniversary became both a celebration of the present and a moment to consider the possibilities ahead.
