By Apollo Ojiayo & Tory Bird | Founders, Lep Apollo Fashion House
Some fashion houses are built from business plans. Others are born from a dream passed down through generations.
For Apollo Ojiayo and Tory Bird, founders of Lep Apollo Fashion House, fashion is both—a childhood dream and a tribute to a woman whose creative legacy deserves to be remembered. The sibling duo share a vision: to step into the fashion world and leave behind a memorable and meaningful mark.
Operating across Nairobi and Kisumu, Lep Apollo is more than a fashion label. It is a fashion and entertainment company that brings together luxury, culture, creativity, and entertainment to create experiences, products, and visual identities that inspire self-expression.
At the heart of their story is their mother, a talented designer in her own time whose name never received the recognition it deserved. Today, Apollo and Tory draw from her creative spirit while building something distinctly their own.
Their design process is intentionally expansive, drawing inspiration from the past, the present, and their vision of the future. They take elements from different eras and influences, reinterpret them through their own creative lens, and transform them into designs that challenge conventional expectations.
Their philosophy is captured perfectly in their tagline:
“Boundless Style, Endless Expression.”
It is more than a slogan. It is a statement of intent.
For Lep Apollo, fashion should not be confined by what society considers normal. Their designs are created for individuals who are willing to break away from convention, embrace individuality, and express themselves without boundaries. Yet beneath the bold creativity is another important consideration: sustainability.
As they push creative boundaries, Apollo and Tory are also exploring ways to make fashion more conscious and responsible. Their vision is one where innovation and sustainability can exist alongside luxury, allowing fashion to be expressive without losing sight of its impact. From the streets of Nairobi to Kisumu and beyond, Lep Apollo Fashion House is carving out an identity that refuses to be ordinary.
Two siblings. One shared dream. A mother’s unfinished legacy. And a vision that looks beyond the present.
Lep Apollo is not simply creating fashion. They are creating a space where there are no limits to style—and no boundaries to expression.
