About Rikaoto by Me
Rikaoto by Me
is the proudly Nigerian, proudly African brand owned by stupendously
gorgeous, ex-beauty queen from Kebbi State by name, Mariam Elisha. The
former Miss Valentine 2007, had always been fascinated by fashion and
style since she was a precocious little girl growing up.
As
a little girl growing up, her dolls were always wearing the most
colorful outfits around as she always wanted to make them stand out.
What
began as a fascination then, later blossomed into a passion while she
was at the University of Lagos, where she studied English Language. The
need to always stand out, further pushed her to continue with her
passion, making clothes for herself and a few friends. It was while at
school that she participated in and won the pageant- Miss Valentine.
Winning
the beauty contest further pushed her into the limelight and by
extension her craft. During her reign she always needed to represent
herself and the brand well, so she always made sure to make stand out
outfits for herself which got loads and loads of commendations. So not
only was she beautiful, she was also skillful to back it up. So it was a
good combination of beauty and brain.
The
brand's design ethos is based on the belief in clean lines and
unapologetic femininity. "We believe that the female form is a work of
art-beautiful and structured that must be well accentuated". A good
designer would help hide the wearer's multitude of sins, and at the same
time help show off the wearer's best features.
"We work using the best of fabrics and materials to create wearable works of are
