...Blazing the fashion trail since 822A.D, her motto was stirred by the fascinating story of a moor,named Ziyab, who lived in the 8th century Baghdad & Andalusia. Ziyab is said to be far ahead of his time, credited with the introduction of the open-toed sandals, the change in wardrobe we enjoy every season, fringes(bangs) in the hair,the modern day stringed instruments the lute and many other firsts. Kiki is constantly motivated by ZIYAB'S spirit of originality,creativity & vision and continues to channel for inspiration as she designs her pieces.
