TOME NYC | Made in New York
Based and made in New York City, TOME is a contemporary women’s fashion brand with powerful collections. Known most recently for their efforts fighting human trafficking through the Freedom for All foundation, TOME came into the limelight as a 2013 CFDA Vogue Fashion Fund finalist. Their signature take on common themes such as the white shirt, the camisole dress, and the trench coat established TOME's place in the modern sustainable fashion movement. TOME founders Ryan Lobo and Ramon Martin originally met in 1998 while studying fashion at the University of Technology, Sydney. While they always knew they would come together to collaborate in Women's fashion, Lobo and Martin spent the first decade of their careers gaining individual experience in the industry: Martin's background includes time spent working for Alberta Ferretti, Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture Atelier, J. Mendel and Derek Lam, while Lobo worked as a designer buyer, stylist, journalist and brand consultant in Australia. Having joined efforts in 2011, TOME is now well established as a groundbreaking women’s fashion brand to watch.
