Kosibah
Creations specialise in contemporary and elegant couture
bridal, evening and formal daywear using luxurious fabrics
and sumptuous embellishments. Yemi's signature use of corsetry
and boned bodices cleverly recreates the classical and elegant
hourglass figure, producing gowns that curve, shape and
flatter the wearer. All gowns are made to measure and made
to order.
Celebrated
clients include Louise Rose, leading actress of Universal
film Life & Lyrics,Alesha Harvey, Sheila Ferguson formerly
of the Three Degrees, Hollywood actress Indra Ové,
Miss World Agbani Darego, and singer Stephanie Benson. Kosibah
Creations' clientele is truly worldwide, although particularly
represented in the UK, Nigeria and USA.
