WHERE DOES IT COME FROM?
THE BIRTH OF KIMONO KOLLECTION: Returning to Nigeria in 2009, Hakeem carried with him two years of design, training, and styling experience from London. Lagos, though vibrant and dynamic, lacked a brand that catered for the decerning modern man. The traditional “natives” were ill fitting relics of the past and Hakeem saw an opportunity to redefine men’s fashion. The Lagos corporate sector however, sought his impeccable tailoring, and the elegant dapper dons found solace in his designs. Kimono Kollection envisioned not only the present but reached out to the future.
