About Tommy Mallet Tommy Mallet, 25, has graced our television screens since 2014 when he made his first appearance on the BAFTA award winning show, ‘The Only Way is Essex’ in series 13. From then he has created a lucrative brand ‘MALLET Footwear’. Born in Islington, London, Tommy had battled with dyslexia throughout his school life. In 2014 he gave an inspirational speech to a hall crowded with school children where he explained that he hasn’t let his one GCSE qualification hold him back. Before launching Mallet Footwear, Tommy had endeavoured to launch his own grooming product line, collaborated with Belvoir&Co to create a line of glasses and was also a part owner of Circuit nightclub in Romford. However, his true interest and enthusiasm was always in the shoe industry. Issue 32 2018 The Art of Luxury 69
