Biography
E.S.O by Liman approaches fashion as a form of record-keeping. Founded in Lagos in 2021 by Tunde Shoremekun Liman, the womenswear label considers garments as carriers of memory—drawing from ritual, daily life, and inherited knowledge to shape pieces that feel both personal and enduring.
Working closely with local artisans, the brand centres hand-dyed textiles and traditional techniques that have been sustained across generations. Fabric development is treated with the same attention as silhouette, resulting in garments where surface and structure are in quiet dialogue. Each piece reflects a slower, deliberate process, grounded in collaboration and an ongoing exchange between maker and material.
This commitment extends into a broader approach to production, where cultural preservation and environmental awareness are intertwined. By prioritising local sourcing and thoughtful making, E.S.O by Liman builds a practice that values continuity—creating clothing intended not only to be worn, but kept, remembered, and passed on.
