Read on to learn more about (Okunoren Twins)

Taiwo and Kehinde Okunoren are Nigeria's first fashion designers. They are well-known for their expert tailoring of men's clothes.

Their mother, Mrs. Abiola Okunoren, was a fashion designer, which is where their inspiration came from. At the age of 19, they began their fashion profession, which coincided with a rise in demand for English clothing.

They started their label, Okunoren, in 2002. They began by importing and selling men’s shirts. The Okunoren Twins label transformed men’s wear by creating bespoke, perfectly tailored suits.

They were both nominated for Entrepreneur of the Year (Beauty & Style) at the 2007 Future Awards. They were also among the first top Nigerian fashion designers to display their work at the 2012 edition of Arise Fashion Week.
