Taiwo Omobolanle and Kehinde Omolola Okunoren are Nigerian clothing icons recognized for their introduction of Bespoke Tailoring to Nigeria. Known for their signature cuts and use of unique fabric, the twins have been the go-to guys for tailored suits in Lagos since 2002 and have inspired a new spring of menswear designers across the country.
