Côté Minou Launches in Style!
Côté Minou launched their company in style. The emcees were in rare form, keeping the crowd engaged, and introducing the talent with flair. The entertainment was great and we had a good time listening to the various acts.
Côté Minou – Bringing Out the Paparazzi
Côté Minou has been making waves in the Washington DC area with their innovative styles and creative designs. Maryanne Mokoko and Stephanie Mouapi weave creative designs, and great colors into an elegant tapestry full of vibrant color and patterns. From Howard University’s Homecoming, to George Washington University’s Taste of Africa, they have made an impact in the DC Metro area’s fashion scene. With such a wonderful run of success, it is only fitting that they officially launch themselves in style. Jamati caught up with these busy ladies to find out more about them.
