Tomiwa, what are your
aspirations for the future?
“I would love to balance and develop my
role as both a firefighter and designer as
I have been doing. Ideally, I would like to
produce a niche brand as my ideas are
very particular and quirky. I like to work
with a traditional base and then put my
spin on them. Fundamentally, my focus is
that I would like to make an aesthetically
grounded product based on quality”
Finally Tomiwa, how did you
come up with the name
’Brother’?
“My ’Brother’ collection was inspired from
my link to the fire brigade ethic... it is like a
band of brothers and sisters.”
Firestyle would like to thank Tomiwa for his
help with this article and we wish him all
the best for the future!
