The Mythology of Empathic Design: Niyi Okuboyejo of Post-Imperial

100% made in Nigeria, sold anywhere else.

In this installment of Globetrotter Field Notes, we sit down with Niyi Okuboyejo, Creative Director of Post-Imperial, a contemporary menswear from Nigeria.

A cultural translator, Niyi rejects the concept of a Western canon for African design. From producing garments through empathic design to styling Taraji P. Henson for the Met Gala, he breaks down the chaotic, intent-driven mythology required to scale an uncompromising creative vision.
