Meet Designer Kimma Wreh Upholding such high expectations is challenging, yet can be found in the talented hands of a soft-spoken dress designer working in Texas. TeKay De- signs by Kimma Wreh is committed to serving brides who's dreams beckon for symbolism, prosperity, heritage, and culture be packaged and delivered into a collection of garments. Kimma has been designing ethnic formal wear and bridal gowns for over fifteen years. "I'm approached by more and more brides who want to return to their roots to feel connected to their heri- tage" explains Kimma. "I began de- signing ethnic fashions because I received such a warm reception in the US by people complimenting the dress- es I had created for myself. I've trav- eled throughout the world from Latin-America to India and in various African countries. I admire the creativi- ty of the local artist. I've always been inspired by the craftsmanship of the local artists when traveling back to my country of Liberia. I realized that the hand-made work the people were do- ing was so well crafted, that I was moved. So, in 1996, I began my busi- ness to produce authentic ethnic fash- ions for brides in the western world. I not only design the gowns, I create a complete set of ladies dresses and for- mal menswear tailored for the bridal party! I employ handmade construction by African artists to produce authentic African-inspired and ethnic bridal and formal attire.
