We talk about: How she got started in the fashion industry How she got started in the bridal industry Some of he challenges she has faced as a designer How she pivoted during the covid-19 pandemic Her new couture collection - The Dream Collection Ese shares dress shopping tips for brides  and more. About Esé Azénabor: Esé Azénabor-Grembowski is the Owner and Creative Director/Head Designer for her name sake brand Esé Azénabor.

Esé Azénabor is known for her hand beading with fine crystals, stones and pearls, hand embroidery on fine French lace and tulle, her structuring with hymo, hard tulle, boning and attention to detail. This Nigeria born Canadian transplant got to Texas as fast as she could. Hailing from a family who considered fashion design more of a hobby than a career, Esé started designing at the early age of 8 Years old. She had to sweep her creative urges under the rug because her maiden name "Azénabor" was grounded in the fields of medicine, law, and engineering, and she, in turn, attended the University of Windsor in Windsor Ontario, Canada majoring in Accounting. A move to Dallas, TX followed, to pursue a Master’s Degree at Southern Methodist University, detoured to following her dreams and started designing handmade dresses for herself, friends and family. In 2012, without any financial assistance, this self-taught designer traded predictable college life for the wild world of fashion with the launch of her self-titled line. At her sewing machine, she conceptualized her fascination for heavy hand beading, crocheted lace, exquisite fabrics and embroidery. Inspired by a combination of vintage, African, and contemporary European influences, she merged cultures to create her Haute Couture Bridal and evening wear collections The Esé Azénabor brand has produced a total of 21 different collections. She is now one of the world’s sought-after designers. Her brides fly in from all over the World to get their Esé Azénabor Couture piece. Her designs has been seen on national and International stars such as Taraji P Henson, Tara Banks, Michelle Williams, country star Kelsea Ballerini, Latin super star Thalia, Vivica A Fox and so much more.
