About Qe' Bella Couture
Introducing Qe' Bella Couture: A passion for fashion ignites at a young age. As a six-year-old, Keiona L. Cook (Day) spends countless evenings at the kitchen table, sketching elegant women in stunning attire. This early vision blossoms into reality years later when Keiona earns her Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Savannah College of Art & Design in May 2003. In August 2004, the dream takes shape as Qe' Bella Couture is born in Minneapolis, MN.
Keiona transforms dreams into tangible creations, bringing client sketches to life. Qe' Bella specializes in crafting custom garments for women and young girls, meticulously designed to reflect each individual's unique lifestyle. The emphasis is on using premium materials to craft garments of superior quality.
Qe' Bella caters to diverse tastes, offering a range from ready-to-wear street chic to high-end couture. Keiona's portfolio spans from casual denim to exquisite wedding gowns adorned with intricate hand embroidery and embellishments.
The turning point arrives when Keiona crosses paths with Sylvia Payne Loveless, renowned for designing attire for artists like Prince. This collaboration propels Qe' Bella into the limelight, garnering features in various publications across the Twin Cities. As clientele grows steadily, Keiona expands her team, welcoming spring interns and staff to support upcoming events and showcases.
