Kibonen's new “Multifarious” collection,  goes through the representation of rural and royal scenes in a way that can be consumed in the comforts of our daily luxurious lives. She uses bright colored authentic African prints as well as creating her own textile designs.

She is best known for her use of the "Toghu", also known as the “royal regalia” worn by the Tikar people of the Bamileke and Bamenda regions of Cameroon, West Africa. This has been her core signature, blending these traditional prints and symbols with more modern silhouettes and contemporary designs.

We bet New York is in for a pleasant surpise. Photos will be upsloaded soon. Stay with us
