In the Beginning
It was inevitable.
Thomas Wallis cut his teeth at seventeen while working at The Different Drummer, a popular men's shop in Philadelphia. Guiding a high-end clientele in how to employ the latest fashion to enhance their personal style by day and closing its doors to outfit the likes of Rod Stewart and Mick Jagger by night, Tom dressed the best in Rock 'n' Roll's history.
Life has a way of bringing your story together. From 17 to today, Thomas Wallis has been steeped in fashion.
