Hazel Aggrey-Orleans is a self-taught designer and founder of the luxury silk print fashion brand, Eki Orleans.
Eki Orleans is a luxury slow fashion brand with an ethical stance. Our pieces have been worn by Hollywood stars, musicians and models. Hazel didn’t come from a fashion background, instead she spent 8 years working in marketing/ production in asset management. It was during her first pregnancy that she decided to find her passion, which happened to be exploring culture and colour. She then married these two up and emerged herself into the world of fashion. Her works have been featured in Vogue, Harpers Bazaar and Tatler. She was stocked in Selfridges and most recently had a piece of hers displayed at St James Palace for Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall prior to their royal visits to Africa.
