Meet Tolami Benson

RI x Tolami Benson just landed. Our latest collab is inspired by slow summer afternoons and effortless city dressing. Tomboy silhouettes softened with feminine details, this is cool-girl city style... and yes, we’re obsessed. We sat down with Tolami to talk through the collection and get the scoop on her style.

Shop The Collection

How does this collection reflect your personal style?

The collection is a complete reflection of me, it's honestly like I picked the clothes out of my own wardrobe. I played across both the women's and men's ranges – which again reflects how I dress day-to-day. I wanted the collection to be completely my own style – which is why it was so exciting for me to take the reins across all areas of the collaboration.

What was your vision for the shoot?

I wanted the shoot to feel very girl-on-the-go in the city. We are all working women, trying to fit a million things in one day while looking cute. So that was the vibes: running around from Pilates, to work, to after work drinks, to late evenings. Versatile styles for versatile women.

Which are your go-to pieces for creating that effortless “cool-girl” look?

The shirt skirt is my fave, I love finding different ways to wear standard pieces, and layering to find new looks for wardrobe staples. It makes your wardrobe feel bigger and more fun. This look is actually just two men's shirts, and a tank. So simple.
