Couture bridal · London 1991 · Harlem
One gown.
Made for one woman.
Designed from a blank page, cut to your measurements and finished by hand at Yemi Osunkoya's atelier.
Complimentary first consultation · Harlem or Zoom · Evenings and weekends
Every Kosibah gown begins as a conversation. Yemi sketches in front of you, in real time, until the drawing is the dress.
Your figure, your venue, the season, the hour of the ceremony, the traditions that matter to your family. All of it goes into the sketch before a single seam is cut.
