Thompson explained that the goal of Lagos Space Programme is to challenge our collective understanding of African fashion whilst creating gender-neutral collections that transcend borders. While there is much familiarity in this Fall/Winter 2025 collection, key silhouettes are given a new lease of life, appearing in fresh colorways such as a vibrant apple red bomber jacket and the brand’s signature wide-leg culottes inspired by archival Yoruba workwear trousers. Another common thread throughout all Lagos Space Programme collections is Thompson’s ability to manipulate the Adire print, an ancient indigo-dyeing technique. This time, the Lagos-based designer modernized the textile, featuring it on trench coats, trousers, and even scarves.
For Thompson, this collection also signifies a new chapter in his personal journey as a designer. There’s a shared sentiment among emerging designers that a new collection must expunge the previous one; it must be daring and experimental, commercial yet disruptive. However, for Thompson, this collection was also about reaffirming what Lagos Space Programme represents: “I’ve gotten to this point where I’ve built very clear house codes, and it’s about making them stronger and bringing them forward into the future. I’ve learned that I don’t have to radically reinvent myself every season.”
