The Power of Two
Sholape and Pelumi are not just sisters; they are partners in purpose — a blend of creativity, intelligence, and entrepreneurial brilliance.
Sholape Ogunmodede, a graduate of Greenwich University, London, holds a Master’s degree in Marketing. With a sharp understanding of consumer psychology, strategic branding, and modern business dynamics, she infuses Whympec with structure and sophistication. Her marketing acumen ensures that every design tells a story — one of personality, confidence, and refined taste.
Her sister, Pelumi Ogunmodede, is equally gifted. A First-Class graduate from the same university, Pelumi built an impressive career as a data analyst before venturing into fashion full-time. Her analytical mind and attention to detail bring precision and innovation to the brand’s operations. Together, they represent a powerful combination of business intelligence and artistic passion — proving that creativity and data can indeed coexist beautifully.
<span;>> “We’ve always believed that fashion is more than fabric — it’s communication,” says Pelumi. “It’s how people express who they are before saying a word.”

Inspired by Legacy, Driven by Passion
The Ogunmodede sisters did not have to look far for inspiration. They grew up watching their mother, the elegant and industrious CEO of Looking Good Fabrics, Abuja, build a thriving enterprise grounded in quality, integrity, and vision.
<span;>> “Our mum is our biggest role model,” Sholape reflects. “She taught us that excellence is not an act but a habit — and that success is never accidental.”
Guided by those values, the sisters launched Whippedandco Fashion Company, transforming their shared dream into a flourishing reality. What began as an online store has evolved into a full-fledged brand celebrated for its craftsmanship, attention to detail, and impeccable customer service.
