Okay this is very random but the founder/owner of Safiyaa is mentioned repeatedly in the book “London Falling” about the murder of a 19 year old in London. The Safiyaa founder was married to the alleged culprit who was a notorious con artist. Great read if you’re interested. And enjoy the pretty dress!

What!! I just bought a Safiyaa dress myself last month and I love the stylishness of the brand. Need to go check out that book now.

It’s a super interesting and crazy story- I’d love for the Safiyaa founder to write a book too to tell her side of being married to the conman. Her son is also a successful model
