Kemi Boutique is a unique Limited Edition and Bespoke Plus Size Evening and Bridal collection by plus size designer, Kemi Farquharson.
Kemi is a Nigerian name from the Yoruba people meaning “Cares for me” and this defines the boutique and its essence, by providing a pre-booked personal style advice and a fine tailoring service by appointment to ensure our customer’s designs are personally fitted to their body shape.
All our designs are Hand Made within our London Studios, whilst our fabrics carefully sources for quality, care, comfort and style.
Our Ready to Wear range serves customers from UK size 12 to size 24, and our bespoke service serves women of all shapes and sizes.
Nigerian born, Kemi grew up in London and established a first career in Business and Finance before Studying Professional Sewing, Pattern Cutting, Draping and Fashion Illostration at Morley College.
Being diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) in her early twenties Kemi took some years to embrace her curves and redefine hey syndrome. It was during her late twenties, frustrated with the European plus size market and her PCOS that Kemi traveled to Jamaica for a few months to relax, rejuvenate and designed her own plus size collection.
“My inspiration is life itself. I love to travel, new adventures, colour, comfort, love and draw my inspiration from memories i have created, my digital camera and notepad are with me all the time and I love to capture the memories of the moment. It is that captured memory that I have infused into my collection of designs, and why my ready to wear collection is limited edition, a unique dress for a unique woman.”
