AFRICAN PRINT DESIGNER : Marayah O


Marayah O is a fashion and lifestyle brand whose immediate focus is the creation of female ready-to-wear (RTW) clothing since 2010.Their designs are eclectic, avant-garde, refreshing, comfortable and most importantly wearable. This also defines their audience the free spirited, fun-loving, confident and happy woman.Bola Yinka-Obebe is the Creative director of Marayah O.The graduate of Economics from University of Ilorin delved into fashion out of a need to satisfy her unique sense of style and petite size of clothing. She took a course in design, pattern making and Garment construction at Ginani fashion school in surulere, Lagos.
She moved to TAE as a designer/ pattern maker, and soon became the product line manager for the design house. A Perception Management/PR firm became the next stop. There she worked till February 2010


 "The collection was inspired by the idea that we live our lives mainly on the street. Nothing is ever fully achieved within the walls of our rooms only. The street is a major part of our daily existence. Going to work, school, lunch/dinner dates, business meetings, hangouts etc all wouldn't exist without the streets. The collection is about being fashionable while living our lives."Marayah O
