For most people, denim is casual; for Toke, it’s couture. Whether it’s a chic dress, a pair of high-waisted jeans, or an oversized jacket, she makes denim look red-carpet-worthy. The trick is in the accessories, the attitude, and a touch of glam make-up. Elevate your denim by dressing it up with bold jewellery and sleek styling.

Beads, sequins, and all things extra

The goal is simple—be bold, be extra, and most importantly, be seen. If you’re not feeling like a star, add more sparkle until you do.
