Lagos Designer, Kiki Okewale Shines In Bangkok

Kiki, the recipient of several styles and achievement awards was at the Grand Finale Festival at the Eden Zone Central on November 18 to November 22, 2019.

The International ‘Thai Silk Fashion Week’ is organized at the behest of Queen Sirikit by the Thai Tourists Assistance Foundation, in collaboration with members of the foreign diplomatic corps in Bangkok, as part of the annual ‘Celebration of Silk’ project to showcase modern and traditional Thai silk and designs.

This year’s fashion exhibition involved 43 International fashion designers from over 60 countries, showcasing their collections, made from Thai Silk.

Hope by Kiki Okewale is the only couturier from Nigeria participating in the special event.

At Thailand, Kiki was the special guest of royalty; she was invited by the blue-blooded Princess Sheikha Hend Al Qassemi of the Emirate, who is a descendant of the royal family of Sharjah, and both the organizer of the Dubai Fashion Week, as well as the proprietress of ‘Velvet’, the popular fashion and lifestyle magazine.

Her understanding of luxury and unique representation of royalty with elegant quality are some of the reasons distinguished women keep coming to her for their style needs.

With her Hope by Kiki Okewale brand, she has authored another chapter in her fascinating catalogue of firsts by blazing the trail as the first Nigerian to be so honoured and recognized in the far Eastern Country.

The popular style icon and CEO of Hope by Kiki Okewale is distinctive with her stock and creations, which has seen her shot to the top of the fashion and clothing business in Nigeria within a short period of time as she boasts of several women of class and elegance as clients, from A-list celebrities and Nollywood icons, to top women politicians and business leaders.

Just last April this year, Hope by Kiki Okewale became the first and only Nigerian, nay African designer to showcase at Dubai Fashion Week.
