Kevwe Mowarin has always loved fashion — she just never expected to pursue a career in it. After studying finance in college, she accepted a job as an investment banking analyst at Credit Suisse in Manhattan upon graduation in the summer of 2016. Ironically, it was there, during her 80 to 100-hour office-bound workweeks, where a bud of creativity began to blossom in her head, pulling her in a very different professional direction.
At first, Kevwe was designing suits only for herself, drawing out silhouettes, selecting fabrics, and having them made in New York City. But once her female coworkers and friends started to take notice of her co-ords, the inquiries began rolling in. “It just spread by word of mouth. If you needed a suit, you could come to me for an official consultation. I loved it, the passion is what drove me to do it,” remembers Kevwe, who was balancing her fledgling business with her demanding full-time job.
Currently, Koviem offers four silhouettes: There’s The Milano Suit, which the brand’s website refers to as “the ultimate power suit”; The Millennial Suit, which has a decidedly more casual feel to it ; The Monrovia Suit, which is collarless and bound to be a fashion girl favorite; and The Manhattan Suit, which is perfect for any corporate setting.
In order to ensure each suit fits perfectly, Koviem just launched a new AI sizing feature on their website. All a customer has to do is take two photos of themselves and enter their height and gender, and an application programming interface will use spatial referencing to measure the human body with 97 percent accuracy. “My vision for Koviem has always been that fit should be a problem of the past. We initially solved this by making all pieces using the measurements input by the customer.
A superhero suit... duh
