Wunmi Girl (pronounced Woo Me) heads up our tailoring, sewing and pattern design. London born and Naija (Nigeria) raised, she is the famous dancer from Soul II Soul, a model, and a recording artist (House Diva!) in her own right.
In the world of dance music, Wunmi is a one-off, an artist that effortlessly joins the dots between Nigeria’s Afrobeat heritage, New York’s house pedigree and London’s jazz, broken beat and classic street soul sounds. As the integral dancer within the Soul II Soul set-up, Wunmi quickly established a bold, self-styled image with flowing braids and her own outrageous clothes which became a valuable addition to the Funki Dred identity. She was subsequently chosen as an icon of London underground club culture when featured in Kiss FM London’s first advertising campaign as a commercial station.
Wunmi along with schoolmate, Donovan Paschal(lead designer at Religion Clothes) put out their first collection of clothing under the label “Revolution with Love.” But as Wunmi’s music career began to blossom in New York she took a brief hiatus from designing for labels. Wunmi designs her own edgy afro and punk inspired stage clothes, as well as elegant costumes for the internationally renowned Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre, Ron K. Brown’s Evidence Dance Company, Dayton Contemporary Dance Company, evening dresses for Essence’s Magazine’s editor Susan Taylor, as well as concept work for recording artist Beyonce for Fashion Rock’s 2006.

Education, Wunmi studied fashion design at the London College of Fashion
