‘Cool’ is such a basic word to describe Tolagbe’s style but it’s that and more. From sharp tailoring to statement dresses in bold prints and colours to beating mannequin at their game, there is no look #TMFINEGEHL can’t pull off.’
A.O
My Journey
I grew up with two extremely fashionable grandmothers Ajike and Ebunoluwa and I stand on their shoulders as accomplished, professional women who still found time to accessorize every outfit to the gawds.
I am a community builder and celebrate the creativity, artisanry and craft that goes into creating global pieces with a uniquely Nigerian slant through #buynaijaweareverywhere.
Style by TM
Do you want to know how to work with what you have and make the most out of a limited wardrobe? We all have a closet full of clothes but never have anything to wear. We fail to see what our wardrobe could be, a reflection of ourselves, a confidence booster, a life asset.
Do you want to know how to stay updated and look glam even without buying anything new? In your closet right now there are overlooked pieces, hidden gems, and essentials screaming to be worn. These style challenges stem from not having the essential how-to’s, style tips, guides, resources and tools to build your wardrobe, your confidence, and your personal style.
Imagine if putting together outfits wasn’t a challenge for you. Imagine knowing exactly what works and what looks good on your body. Are you tired of your “go-to” pieces? Do you want to stop wearing the same outfit over and over again?
Whether you’re searching for a way to coordinate prints or the correct pant length; figuring out what dress looks best on you; looking for a resource on what to pack for your next vacation;
You need some help. TM got you covered.
African owned brands
I don’t tear down I prefer to build up-Andre Leon Talley
Where some see clothes, I see dignifying work, importing, exporting, straight (sometimes wonky) seams, battling with customs, with PHCN, with big generator, small generator, with dodgy promises and a determination to tell a different narrative of our exuberance, savoir-faire and our #naijanodeycarrylast spirit.
#naijanodeycarrylast
There’s no accident that our Nigerian excellence shines through in areas of creativity and imagination free from external stressors (and the occasional state-sanctioned homicide. I have collaborated with a number of small brands and businesses in paid partnerships on social media.
I moderated a conversation for style house files on creativity and intellectual property. And actively foster and mentor up-and-coming brands across budgets in the fashion, home, parenting and lifestyle spaces.
