TOLU COKER
Founded in 2021 by British-Nigerian designer Tolu Coker, TOLU COKER is a sustainable luxury fashion and lifestyle brand rooted in three core pillars: community, craftsmanship, and culture. Inspired by the designer's British-Nigerian heritage and family history of social activism, the brand proposes a distinct notion of 'reformative luxury fashion' that centers quality tailoring, cultural preservation, and collaborative multidisciplinary practice over seasonal trends. The brand's mainly-unisex designs focus on deconstruction and sustainability, championing ethical and inclusive manufacturing while using clothing as a vehicle for important social conversations. Merging artisan craftsmanship with innovative technology, collections explore hybridity and fluidity in societies and cultures, often incorporating traditional techniques like batik and hand-embroidery. With a global clientele including Rihanna and Ariana Grande, the brand has earned prestigious recognition including the British Fashion Council NEWGEN Award and Forbes 30 under 30.
