I met Tomisin when I was having a bridal Collaboration shoot to show off my modelling side *yimu* I tried sha ohhhh, but that;s beside the point. Tomisin wanted me to model for her hair bonnet. Prior to that, I've never used a hair bonnet before or even seen one...but Tomisin sold me the idea and I bought it hook, line and sinker. Not only did I model the hair bonnet, but I ended going home with one,and you can barely find us far apart from each other.😁😁😁😁, I have healthier hair thanks to it and its long enough for me to even be called "an oyinbo" 😉, so whenever you see me, please put some respect on my name,lol!
I sat down with Tomisin on a quest to better understand her brand and she told me a lot about her brand and how it came to be. Read excerpts below:
Stephen Abimbola learned to crochet while still in secondary school; it was a hobby she used just to while away the times. For young Bimbo, it was a genuinely amusing pastime that, unbeknownst to her, would go on to play a remarkable role in her professional career.
She began to crochet professionally in October 2016 shortly after the birth of her daughter. She made her a breathtaking baby booties which captured the attention of her friends and families, propelling them to request for same to be made for their own babies and they were willingly to pay for them.
This was all the breakthrough Bimbo needed and she has been crocheting avidly ever since.
KMB interviewed her and here are excerpts of all she had to say:
Nigerian fashion has evolved; so much that it's now well accepted and rocked all over Africa and the diaspora.
Nigerians are now very comfortable with our own fashion and have started thinking outsid the box. With different occasions popping up every weekend,Gele artists and MUAs are stepping up their skills, new creative styles have been popping out almost every weekends.
That is why we have frugally and cautiously chosen these styles seen across various social activities over this past weekend for your viewing pleasure and to help you style yourself for coming weekends
