Lavie by CK has made waves as a Black designer in just the past year.

Recently, Amanda Seales, host of the BET Awards, wore an incredible custom Lavie by CK gown. Claude's pieces have also been seen on top celebrities such as Tracee Ellis Ross and Janet Jackson. Lavie by CK was just named by WWD as one of the most influential Black designer to watch this year.

Lavie By CK founder Claude Kameni was raised in Cameroon where her passion for fashion was cultivated. As a child she was extremely creative with clothing and art. After relocating to the United States, she was blessed to have the opportunity to mold and enhance her skills. Her personal dedication rubs off in her creations and the smiles they create. The business is direct to consumer with By Appointment Only requests made in the studio for one of a kind pieces.
