Welcome to Kissed by Bo — where couture meets consciousness and fashion becomes a form of self-care.
Kissed by Bo is a Black-owned couture fashion house that blends innovative design, hand-painted artistry, and wellness-centered principles. From haute couture to accessible ready-to-wear luxury, each piece is thoughtfully created to empower individuality, confidence, and self-expression — whether on the red carpet or in everyday life.
What began as the creative vision of designer / stylist Braisha Owens-Mount has grown alongside her lived experience as a wife, mother, and cultural voice advocating for something deeper than fashion. Today, Kissed by Bo exists as more than a couture house; it is a platform for community, creativity, and honest conversation.
Through the Ask Me: Wife, Mom, Designer = God Podcast, Bo hosts candid discussions on style, wellness, motherhood, faith, and the ongoing art of becoming.
With Corporate Couture and the Fashion Wellness Initiative, Kissed by Bo addresses the real challenges women face in professional spaces — helping them discover, refine, and confidently express their personal style within the workplace.
Through Haus of Bo and the social enterprise The Paper Bag Chronicles, the brand extends its impact beyond fashion — championing mental health, body positivity, and holistic wellness within the fashion community and beyond, while also operating as a speaking platform where Bo leads conversations and engagements centered on these themes.
Kissed by Bo is more than a brand — it is a movement rooted in empowerment, artistry, faith, and intentional style.
Our mission is to be the epicenter of fashion wellness — where style and self-care intersect and fashion transforms both wardrobe and spirit.
Through couture, conversation, community, and corporate engagement, we create wearable art with purpose, encourage honest dialogue, and empower women to express not only who they are, but how they feel through what they wear.
