Harriet Edide
Founder, Managing Director & Creative Director
Harriet Edide is a native of Odi, Kolokuma/Opokuma Local Government Area of Bayelsa State. A Philosophy graduate of Niger Delta University and an alumna of the Lagos Business School, she brought to fashion the same rigour she brought to every discipline she entered: a refusal to be ordinary.
Crowned Miss Bayelsa in 2013 and Miss Niger Delta in 2014, Harriet's years in pageantry gave her an education in how women are seen, and a conviction that they deserved to be seen differently. That conviction became Finiee Couture.
Today she oversees every commission personally. She also founded the Harriet Edide Foundation, providing scholarships, vocational training, and mentorship to young women across the Niger Delta.
