Collection: OLUBIYI THOMAS

Born in Lagos, Nigeria, Blubiyi Thomas worked as a designer at Alexander McQueen London and Siki Im in New York before becoming creative director at De Rien (London). In 2015, he became independent from De Rien, launched his own brand, and released a spring/summer collection in June 2016.

Olubiyi Thomas takes an artisanal style approach, drawing from ancient textile excavations to designs that redefine historical interpretations of textiles. His signature style is an avant-garde style with vertical silhouettes, exquisite draping and layers, and raw-cut garments.

The brand is all about multiculturalism and hidden identities, reflecting the designer's own Nigerian and Scottish background. Orbi recreates the fusion and connection of African culture and post-British colonialism. Carefully selected sustainable textiles, craftsman style, all works are produced in London.
