Odio Oseni, the designer behind the brand Odio Mimonet, has always stood apart. She has always had a deep love for art and a clear creative vision, both of which she taps from to celebrate the female form in her designs. This year, she celebrates 30 years in the fashion industry. It has been quite the journey as she looks back at when Odio Mimonet truly found her voice. Oseni says much like a person, a brand’s voice evolves; however, the real turning point came when they started building a community of people who trusted the label.

Odio Mimonet has remained relevant for 30 years, and this is possible because they put customers first.
