OUR FOUNDER'S STORY
Our founder-Chika worked as a flight attendant for 14 years traveling the world and experiencing different cultures. It was through these travels that something became apparent: Despite consuming so much of the world’s creativity, there was little consideration given to the needs, body shape, skin tone of WOC like herself during the design & creation process of the clothes that WOC like herself wear.
It was this observation that led her to not only create an occasion wear line that celebrates the beauty , elegance of sophisticated WOC but shares it with the world as well.
It is truly her passion to see women thrive in their social circles, knowing that their style is communicating their worth everytime they walk into a room!
