By Ugo Aliogo

From the start, her mission has been simple. To create clothing that tells a story, celebrates individuality, and culture with modern design. Aisha Azeez is the creative force behind IESHAZIZI, a fashion brand that blends her Nigerian heritage, global trends, with a fresh contemporary vision.

She represents creatives who view design not only as aesthetic expression, but as culturally dialogue, ethical responsibility, and long-term vision.

Her collections explore identity, craftsmanship, bringing together bold structure and refined detailing. Each piece label reflects a thoughtful balance between tradition and modernity, a signature that distinguishes her work within the growing landscape of culturally conscious fashion.

Aisha fell in love with sustainability when she did the module cooperate social responsibility (CSR) at the University of Northampton and she approaches fashion with an awareness of its environmental and social footprint. She has shown clear commitment not only to creativity, but to sustainability and it reflects her belief that fashion should respect both people and the planet focusing on ethical and innovative fashion practices, one that informs how collections are conceived, produced, and presented.

This unique approach has facilitated notable collaborations, connecting her with both emerging and established talents across photography, design and styling and partnerships that amplify the creative storytelling behind IESHAZIZI.

Beyond her clothing brand, Aisha has immersed herself in the fashion community through volunteering, mentorships, charity donations and workshops, learning from established designers with emerging talent which have strengthened her commitment and sharpened her philosophy to fostering a supportive creative industry. The dual role as learner and contributor reflects the leadership potential at the heart of her practice.

Aisha describes her style and brand as personal, modern, confident, expressive, inspiring, and distinctly forward looking. What sets her apart is not just her design skill but her vision for the future. Aisha Ayoka Azeez is committed to shaping a fashion industry that is inclusive, culturally aware, and visionary, bridging traditional craftsmanship with contemporary aesthetics.

She plans to undertake advanced fashion and business focused courses to further refine her craft, expand her technical expertise, and deepen her understanding of sustainable innovation with the global fashion system. These plans reflect her long-term commitment to growth and leadership within the industry.

With skill, originality, and shaping a vision of an industry that values culture, and a clear sense of purpose, Aisha is a promising new voice in global fashion and IESHAZIZI is a brand that will continue to grow and inspire.
