The cab-driver brothers with designs on Brixton

What started as a clothing design idea for Brixton brothers Daniel O’Connell and Pete Adams has grown into a successful fashion business, Brixton Street Wear.

The two London cab drivers have created a brand with a difference, believing that by helping the community they will be supported.

They have already donated thousands of pounds to local projects and causes, and have just opened their first shop in Brixton Village.
