Dressed in my own designs @hagiazolabel, a three-piece outfit I specially designed and made for the pink-themed “Change in Shades” conference, I couldn't be more proud of myself, even as I was selected as one of the three best-dressed people at the event. 

One of the reasons I love what I do as a fashion designer is that fashion is an effective tool for boosting people's confidence in themselves. I have met a lot of diverse women, and I can say that women go through a lot, especially with how hormonal changes affect our bodies, self-confidence, and overall quality of life. I am very passionate about women having a positive image of themselves and overall mental health. 

So when I first heard about the “Change in Shades” 2026 conference (“A conversation on evolving & the menopause transition”), tagged “Menopause in Colour”, from Aunty Gloria Sowah @gloriasowah, the founder of Living Colour Magazine, who was also a compere for the event, I knew that I had to be there. 

A great time was had!

Congratulations to Dr. Kemi Adu @dr_kemiadu, the founder of Change in Shades and a GP who specialises in integrative women's health, for pulling together such an erudite team of high-achievers, great women making waves in their fields! 

She gave a keynote speech on “Menopause in Colour” and a lesson that will not leave me is that “Being in mid-life is not the end of life. It's just a change of season”

Councillor Pye Augustine @pyeaugustineipswich, the Ipswich Councillor and Community Advocate, gave us a very powerful civic welcome, as she briefly shared her journey into community service and politics. 

Chiza Westcarr @chizawestcarr_, a menopause coach, clinical skin & nutrition expert, and founder of @thrivingthroughmenopausebycw (by the way, her product “Deflame” @flora_biome tastes and feels so good! … check it out), gave us a cultural perspective about menopause and how different bodies come with different burdens. Truly enlightening. 

Mrs Eky Akporhonor @juneschild, the award-winning interior designer and owner of @door42_interiors, who also hosted at the event … oh my God! (Cont'd in comment section)

🏆 WE WON! — EDUCATOR/MENTOR OF THE YEAR 2026

From being nominated, to becoming a finalist, and now… WINNING!

I am truly honoured to have been named Educator/Mentor of the Year 2026 at the Women in Fashion (WIF) Awards.

Although I was unable to attend the awards ceremony in person due to other important commitments, I am incredibly grateful for this recognition.

For me, fashion has always been about more than creating beautiful garments. It is about people, opportunity, knowledge, confidence and purpose—creating spaces where others can learn, develop their gifts, build practical skills and recognise the value of what they carry.

At HAGIAZO Label, this is reflected not only in the couture we create, but also in our commitment to mentoring, developing talent & creating opportunities for growth. 

My heartfelt appreciation to Upma Kite (@upmakite), Founder and Director of WIF Global, a platform that celebrates and connects outstanding professionals across the fashion industry through its annual awards. Upma is also the concept creator behind Ravishing Fashionistas (@ravishing_fashionistas), a fashion-show platform celebrating diversity and representation.

Thank you to the WIF Global team and presenting partner Pitcher Partners (@pitcherpartners) for making this recognition possible.

I am also sincerely grateful to Madam Republic Official (@madamrepublic_official) for sponsoring the Educator/Mentor of the Year award, and to Jo Ellice Flint (@jomadamr) and her team for their work as conscious-led brand creators and storytellers, supporting start-ups, companies and individuals to show up meaningfully in the world.

And to every person I have had the privilege of teaching, mentoring, encouraging, collaborating with, or opening a door for—you are part of this journey. Thank you. ❤️

Nominee → Finalist → WINNER. 🏆

I receive this recognition with immense gratitude, and with an even greater commitment to keep teaching, mentoring, creating, building and making room for others to rise.

It is with great pleasure that I announce @hagiazolabel as one of my Official Wardrobe Partners for Miss Grand International 2026. 👑

One thing I’ll always proudly rock is African prints and fashion! 🇸🇸✨

I’ve had the pleasure of working closely with @hagiazolabel to custom-design my departure and arrival looks for MGI 2026, blending modern fashion with bold African prints, culture and design.

We’ve had so much fun bringing these looks to life, experimenting with different ideas and creating pieces that are truly a reflection of who I am and where I come from.

And trust me… they are going to make a statement👀👀✨

We cannot wait for you to see them!

Thank you so much for your immense support, patience and dedication over these past few months @md_styledbydeborah . Through sickness, unexpected delays and everything in between, we got there in the end! 🤍

I’m so grateful for you and everything we’ve created together. I love you for it, and I cannot wait to work together again on many more projects to come! 🥂✨

The countdown to India is officially on. 🇸🇸🇮🇳👑

✨ Grace in every stitch. Power in every colour.

A celebration of Indian culture, fashion and the confidence of women captured at the vibrant India Day Fair 2026 at Roma Street Parkland. 🇮🇳✨

Draped in a striking HAGIAZO creation, @peachy.mumma commands the frame with warmth, elegance and undeniable presence. The vivid yellow, orange and black abstract print brings energy to the scene, while the structured bodice and dramatic flowing skirt create a beautifully regal silhouette.

More than fashion, this look carries a message clothing can transform the way we see ourselves, celebrate our individuality and give us the confidence to stand a little taller.

HAGIAZO’s philosophy of “Luxury Fashion with Purpose” beautifully reflects that idea: fashion as a tool for confidence, self-expression and celebrating women in all their diversity. 🤍
