Esé Azénabor's designer: Esé Azénabor-Grembowski was born in Nigeria and travelled from Canada to Texas to launch her label in 2012. She is a self-taught designer who specialises in heavy beading, crocheted lace, and embroidery, inspired most by vintage, African, and contemporary European aesthetics. Her evening wear has been seen on the likes of Taraji P. Henson and Michelle Williams.
The Esé Azénabor Bride: comes from all over the world and loves to travel. She loves attention to detail, beading, embroidery, and lots of drama. She understands the art of creativity and the care behind a bespoke garment. The label is for a bride who wants to stand out and look different from every other bride.
Esé Azénabor's Current Mission: "We actually closed down for a month during the lockdown in Dallas. However, our employees were still able to come to work daily to make masks for donations to hospitals. We were able to make 10,000 masks and donate to 200 facilities (hospitals, police stations, fire stations, EMS, and grocery stores)," Esé told POPSUGAR.
Where to Shop: Online or at the showroom located in the Dallas Design District in Texas.
