THIS IS US™ IS POST IMPERIAL

Fantastic Man is a collaborative collection from Post-Imperial and THIS IS US that repositions Nigerian menswear on a global stage. Inspired by William Onyeabor, whose music envisioned the future while navigating the world on his own terms and remaining grounded in Nigerian identity, the collection channels that same forward vision: presenting a comfortable yet elegant approach to dressing shaped by eclectic experiences across cultures.

The Fantastic Man is dynamic. He is the entrepreneur splitting time between Lagos and New York, or the lawyer who becomes a cultural curator on weekends. What unites them is a hunger to be surrounded by creative endeavors and the means to pursue them.
