Mission Statement
IGBO-SISUN is devoted to innovative, transformative, and high quality garments that ignite the light within trailblazers to unapologetically feel regal, sophisticated, grand, and elegant in every room that they strut into.
Our mission is to break the bonds of silence, reclaim identity, and to shine the light of God, by transforming what was once hidden into a radiant declaration of truth.
We boldly shine our light into the places often left in the shadows—illuminating stories, voices, and truths long suppressed.
In this illumination, we create space for healing, dignity, and belonging—reminding us that what emerges from the darkness not only reveals who we are, but also strengthens the brilliance of our collective humanity.
our Founder
Moses Aina is a MoMA-Commissioned artist who innovates not merely for adornment, but she pierces darkness with designs that radiate the unshakable truth: God’s love is for all. Guided by her journey with God, Moses transforms fabric into faith, silhouette into sermons, and craftsmanship into sacred movement—illuminating voices long suppressed. As the CEO of IGBO-SISUN, Moses utilizes couture as an altar to be the voice to those who have ever felt overlooked.
Moses earned her BFA from New York University, where she studied Fine Art and Business Marketing as an MLK Scholar—an honor recognizing leaders who embody the legacy of Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Moses’ designs have elevated Off-Broadway stages and graced the pages of Vogue. Com, HENI, OUT. COM, and New York Magazine—captivating audiences with her prophetic sophistication. Alongside this, Moses has also worked on the marketing team for Gucci and Spotify. In the same breath, her experience advocating for LGBTQIA+ rights at the United Nations with the ambassador to President Joe Biden, further affirms her mastery of harmonizing her divine gift with anointing.
Through every thread and texture, Moses Aina redefines couture as a blessed dialogue between fashion, activism, and faith.
Core Values:
Visibility
Visibility is a form of power. Many of the most influential decisions in society are made by people who have never truly encountered those most affected by them. When people are rendered invisible—or misrepresented through stereotypes—their humanity is easily dismissed. IGBO-SISUN operates from the belief that presence in high fashion, art, and culture can reshape perception
Visibility is also inward-facing. Representation matters not only for how the world sees people who have ever felt silenced, but for how people who have ever felt invisible come to see their own light. When individuals are reflected back with beauty, refinement, and grace, it expands what they believe is possible for their own lives.
Light
IGBO-SISUN uses couture as a vessel for illumination. Each garment is designed to shine light into spaces that have long been overlooked, affirming worth where it has been denied. Light, in this context, is not spectacle—it is clarity, reverence, and elevation. Through beauty and intention, this atelier fosters dignity, belonging, and transformation.
Sophistication
Visibility alone is not enough; how one is seen matters. Sophistication is central to IGBO-SISUN’s mission to counter narratives that reduce marginalized people to caricature or struggle. Through exceptional craftsmanship, refined materials, intentional silhouettes, and elevated presentation, each piece asserts that elegance and authority are inherent—not granted. Sophistication becomes a language of self-determination.
Divine Purpose
Fashion is treated as a calling rather than a commodity. IGBO-SISUN creates from a place of intention, faith, and higher purpose—believing that garments can carry meaning beyond trend, profit, or consumption. Every piece is an offering, guided by the belief that creative work can serve as a tool for restoration and liberation.
Innovation
Innovation at IGBO-SISUN honors individuality and lived experience. This atelier merges classical elegance with imaginative, contemporary expression—challenging rigid definitions of beauty and tradition. By blending the familiar with the visionary, IGBO-SISUN creates work that is both timeless and trailblazing, opening doors for trailblazing narratives to exist boldly within refined spaces.
