Tessy Kiri Bibowei
Fashion designer, former beauty queen, and founder of a growing world of fashion, beauty, and gifting. She wears her own designs everywhere, so every appearance is the work itself.
A life in expression.
Tessy studied Computer Science at Niger Delta University before pageantry changed her direction. In 2013 she emerged first runner up at Miss Earth Nigeria with the Miss Earth Water title and Best Swimsuit. In 2014 she became the first Nigerian woman ever to compete at Miss Grand International, carrying the flag in Bangkok among 85 countries.
In 2016 she founded 234byKiri in Lagos: Nigeria, by Kiri. Ten years later the name covers a fashion house, a beauty parlour, and a corporate gift empire, plus four years judging Misters of Nigeria and a 2025 sponsorship beside MTN and Nestle.
