(Togo First) - Marius Latif KERIM-DIKENI is a Franco-Togolese designer, one of the ambassadors of Togolese fashion internationally.

The promoter of the clothing brand Mario Exclusive, a 100% Togolese brand, has conquered, through his one-of-a-kind models, the hearts of famous personalities such as President Roch Marc Christian Kaboré, Koffi Olomidé, King Mensah, the Toofan, soccer stars like Habib Beye, Patrick M'boma or Malick Traoré.

From Abidjan, where his largest store is located, Lomé, Ouaga, Dakar, Bamako, Kinshasa, Paris, and Brussels, the founder of the clothing line with "ethnic" content is making his mark. Eager for more, the entrepreneur wants to expand to Brazzavile, Kigali, New York, and Tokyo.

The secret of this success lies, he confides, in the quality of the fabrics (the kenté, generally woven by hand) he uses.

Besides fashion design, KERIM-DIKENI also heads Tendances Events, a communication company.
