There are people you meet ‘for the
first time’ and you will love to see again, Bola Yinka-Obebe is definitely one of
such. Smart, focused and intelligent, She is a graduate of Economics from
University of Ilorin.
Her
petite size and unique sense of style brought about her interest in fashion so
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.
Her label Marayah O is a fashion and lifestyle brand whose immediate focus is the creation of
female ready-to-wear (RTW) clothing since 2010
Marayah
O’s designs are eclectic, avant-garde, refreshing, comfortable and most
importantly wearable. This also defines her audience - The free
spirited, fun-loving, confident and happy woman.
She
says it is important that the Marayah O woman is celebrated even beyond her
looks.
In
the nearest future, she and her team hopes to fully integrate the entire
fashion and lifestyle range from clothing to accessories, homes and other
lifestyle effects.
Debut Collection
Her
first Collection was tagged ‘’The Street style ALPHA’’. She says it is simple,
stylish, comfortable and wearable.
The
collection was inspired by the idea that people live their lives mainly on the
street. Nothing is ever fully achieved within the walls of our rooms only. The
street is a major part of 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.
She gives

Obebe Photography), Onyinye Fafi Obi (Styling), Modupe Sorunke (Make-up), Mizzy
B (Shoes) .
