Drawing on his Yoruba heritage and British culture, he’s been able to blend his interests in philosophy, religion, and history in his collections. For Spring/Summer 2023,Rising, he uses multi-heretic and intercultural emblems, pre-colonial styles, and handcrafted West African textiles that juxtapose the appliqué of European linen.
Being a pastor’s son and growing up in a Pentecostal family, Thomas was instilled with Christian values from an early age. “My mum is the pastor of our church. So I think a lot of those ideas are heavily Christian-leaning,” he says. “I’ve sort of left it to the side, in terms of really intense indoctrination, like organised religion.
