Designer Kifu Augousti is the founder of Kifu Paris, a line of home accessories and furniture distinguished by elaborate, handmade patterns and a quirky, bold, independent sensibility.

The same could be said of her style identity. To Augousti, fashion is a form of art, a form of self-love, and an outlet of expression. True to her fearless personality, Augousti likewise has no qualms about making distinctive sartorial choices. She loves to be daring and pulls these looks off well, claiming to be a fan of corset tops, leather motorcycle jackets, and even sexy, see-through Nensi Dojaka dresses.

One of her favourite designers is Olivier Theyskens, a Belgian creative who is known for his use of peekaboo lace and edgy black fabric. A close friend of Augousti’s, Theyskens is someone that she looks up to for his meticulous detail work and craftsmanship. Theyskens—who has worked with brands such as Nina Ricci, Theory, and Rochas—has designed many bespoke outfits for Augousti, tailoring them to fit her statuesque frame perfectly.
