HISTORY OF THE BRAND The brand, LEILA HAFZI, came to life in Stavanger, Norway in 1997. On the scene of high-end fashion, a new voice was born and the ethical & eco conscious trade found a future leading lady. In a sensual, elegant manner, cultures have been explored and environmental issues highlighted. LEILA HAFZI has an innovative style and an excellent positioning in the European market: in particular in Italy and France it's in the best bridal boutiques besides the most famous brands of international fashion. Mainly side by side with brands like Alberta Ferretti, Azzaro, Carolina Herrera, David Fielden, Jenny Packham, Marchesa, Matthew Williamson, Monique Lhuillier, Oscar de la Renta, Reem Acra, Ugo Zaldi, Valentino and Vera Wang. A sustainable approach coupled with unfading joy expressed through design has made this multiple award-winning brand into a red carpet favorite. The trans-cultural collaboration that is the LEILA HAFZI-team, makes the impossible possible against the back drop of the hazy and mostly chaotic production sites of Katmandu, where the fashion business and development work is combined like no other high-end brand in the world. Over the years, Leila Hafzi received national awards on several occasions - in 2007 and 2011 she was appointed ”Designer of the Year” by KK and Costume Awards, the Environmental prize of the decade by OFW and the “Fashion for a Cause” prize of 2011. LEILA HAFZI designs are recognized for their romantic, feminine and bohemian look, combined with innovative fusion of themes. The origins of inspiration stem from Norway, Persia, Greece and Nepal. LEILA HAFZI the sustainable pioneer of ethical- & eco conscious production of high-end fashion The brand LEILA HAFZI has been a proud member of The Ethical Trading Initiative - Norway, (IEH) since 2008. IEH's activities are based on the understanding that companies have a responsibility towards human rights (including internationally accepted labor rights) in their supply chain.
