CI W EN is a London-based fashion label at the intersection of art,

performance, and identity. We design bold, handcrafted pieces that celebrate individuality and empower self-expression. Each creation is a tribute to the wearer’s irreplaceability. On stage, in culture, and in life.

 

Râbia, founder and creative director of CI W EN, is a designer from

the Turkish diaspora. She moved to London with nothing but her sewing machine and an unshakable dream. Her journey shaped by resilience, craftsmanship, and cultural depth is woven into every garment.

 

Founded in 2021, CI W EN began as a custom-only label. Since then,

our designs have been worn by a diverse roster of international artists, including: FLO, Leigh-Anne, Shallipopi, Seyi Vibez, Joeboy, BIA, Gyakie,

Headie One, Omah Lay, Smino, Taliamar, Zoe Wees, Stefflon Don, and more.

 

In March 2025, CI W EN debuted its first runway show in London,

marking a new chapter in the label’s evolution.

 

CI W EN is more than fashion, it’s a medium for storytelling, transformation, and connection. Our designs combine traditional handcrafting with contemporary expression, honoring new life cycles and cultural roots.

 

Each piece challenges norms and reveals the power of your true self.
