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. That’s not really something that I’m into.
Accompanied by historically-referenced tailored silhouettes that drape and layer along raw edges, Thomas integrated performance, music, dance, and spoken word into his latest show. “That’s why I try to build these different perspectives so we can soak in a bit more information, maybe through words, through the music, through dance.
