Who is Olubiyi Thomas?
Hailing from the vibrant city of Lagos, raised in the artistic crucible of Glasgow, and now thriving in the pulsating heart of London, Olubiyi Thomas embodies the eclectic blend of influences that define Nominal's avant-garde aesthetic.
A Central Saint Martins graduate from 2010 to 2013, Thomas's journey began with a foundation in fine art before he seamlessly transitioned into the world of fashion design. His distinctive perspective caught the eye of the industry, positioning him as a visionary force.
The refinement of his craft took place at the iconic Alexander McQueen in London, where he honed his skills against the cutting edge of couture. Venturing into the subversive world of Siki Im in New York further enriched Thomas's avant-garde sensibilities, setting the stage for his head designer role at the now-defunct De Rien in London.
