Kiki Okewale, one of Nigeria’s Queen of Blings has again dazzled the world with her Majesty Queen Sirikit, the Queen Mother. Kiki made history at the just-concluded ‘Thai Silk Festival’ which held in Bangkok, Thailand.
She was the recipient of several style and achievement awards at the Grand Finale of the Thai Silk Festival which was held at the Eden Zone Central from November 18 to Friday 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. Kiki, who was the only couturier from Nigeria participating at the special event 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.
Kiki’s 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. By this latest feat, Kiki Okewale 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 Fashion’s distinctive stock and creations, has seen her shoot 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, Kiki became the first and only Nigerian, nay African designer to showcase at the Dubai Fashion Week.
