A Business Couple
Kalani runs her company, Mikoh, with her sister, Oleema.
Their line embodies their vision of modern swimwear for women, drawing inspiration from their experiences living in bikinis and exploring oceans worldwide.
Oleema, a former professional surfer, leads as the creative director and designer of Mikoh, infusing her extensive travels since age 13 into the brand's aesthetic.
Meanwhile, Kalani utilizes her education to manage the business side of Mikoh.
The brand's name is a fusion of their surname, Miller, and the initials of the sisters along with their younger sister's name, Hana.
Additionally, "Miko" originates from Japanese, signifying "female shaman" or "female prophecy."
Kelly Slater is the greatest professional surfer of all time.
The Floridian holds the records for being the youngest (1992) and oldest (2011) men's world surfing champion at 20 and 38 years old, respectively.
