Toria Adams and Derrick Wells, both native Louisianans, have built a legacy of passion, creativity, and hard work. Toria Born in Columbia and Derrick born in Monroe, Louisiana, respectively, the couple’s journey began at Ouachita High School, where they both graduated. Derrick, a licensed barber and fashion enthusiast, has been cutting hair since his teenage years. His love for fashion has always been evident, as he recalls experimenting with colorful wristband socks to match his outfits as a child. Shoes, especially sneakers, have always been one of his greatest loves, and he’s now a well-known barber in Monroe. Derrick’s fashion sense extends beyond hair and clothing; he created a sketch of 29 ovals with a #5 logo a decade ago, which eventually became the symbol for his clothing line. Derrick prides himself on his fresh look, making sure he always looks sharp from head to toe—whether it’s his hair, clothes, shoes, jewelry, or even the vehicles he drives. Music and good food are also key elements of his lifestyle. The inspiration behind the name of their boutique, 5ebastian, came when their youngest son, Sebastian, was five years old. After writing his name on a piece of paper in a scribbled style, Derrick had the idea to replace the “S” with a “5,” creating a memorable brand name. Toria, in addition to being a licensed realtor in Monroe for over 14 years, is a talented decorator and designer with a keen eye for fashion. She’s well-known not only for selling houses but also for her iconic mohawk hairstyle, earning her the nickname “The Lady with the Mohawk.” Together, Derrick and Toria have taken their passion for fashion to new heights with their 5ebastian Boutique, offering a range of stylish clothing and accessories. They’ve also launched another brand, 5wampz x jokesup, which offers a unique camouflage-inspired clothing line. One of their notable creations is a shoe featuring Toria’s face on the side, blending their love for fashion with their personal touch. As they continue to grow their business, the couple is excited about what the future holds. They invite everyone to follow their journey and stay updated on their latest offerings by visiting www.5ebastianboutique.com. For Derrick and Toria, this is just the beginning.
