Rammy Mohamed

Rammy Mohamed - My love of refined aesthetics began at an early age, along with my interest in fashion all because of my uncle. Growing up, I was fortunate to witness him create elaborate special occasion dresses for local celebrities and affluent women in my hometown of Finfinnee in East Africa. My curiosity about the arts and fashion eventually led me to attend an affluent college of fine arts; The Art Institute of International of Minnesota, where I obtained a degree in Fashion Design. I often incorporate traditional Oromo influences into my modest designs while maintaining modern and contemporary elements. By using high-quality fabrics and unique textures, I believe I am adding a certain level of confidence and sophistication to my clients that they can’t get anywhere else.
