“RAIMI OF THE STARS | A celestial tribute to Mary Akinremi Raimi
Tonight, she wears a story-a galaxy stitched in grace, grief, and glory. Raimi of the Stars is a breathtaking haute couture gown inspired by the ethereal beauty of the cosmos and the enduring spirit of a mother’s love. Drenched in celestial white and adorned with glistening crystals, each embellishment mirrors a star -every one of them a silent prayer, a memory, a mother, an angel.
The fitted silhouette carves out elegance, while the high neckline and cascading train whisper royalty. Billowing organza sleeves cloud around her like halos, soft yet commanding, mimicking the arms of a woman who once held a child and never let go-even from beyond.
This gown is not just worn.It is felt. It is remembered. Dedicated to Mary Akinremi Raimi, the woman who called her Agbani Darego even as a child, this gown pays homage to all the women who became angels by giving life-and then giving everything.”
