History was made at the just-concluded ‘Thai Silk Festival’
which held in Bangkok, Thailand as Kiki Okewale, one of Nigeria’s Queens of
Blings; dazzled the world with her craft at the Grand Finale of the Thai Silk
Festival at the Eden Zone Central on November 18 to Friday, November 22’ 2019.
The International ‘Thai Silk Fashion Week’ was 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 was the only couturier from Nigeria at the
special event.
In 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.
Okewale’s distinctive stock and creations have shot her 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.
