“This latest collection is thoughtfully named ‘Nostalgia’ as the
designer looked to her roots for inspiration.During the creation stage
for this collection, Hazel found inspiration in objects that symbolized
music and movement. Through exploring the rich history of Africa, Hazel
was quite taken with the calabash musical instrument and its importance
in African culture. Referencing the sensual shape of the calabash and
its melodic, mellow and earthy rhythms, Hazel created prints that are
bold, feminine and in a word stunning.
Each print tells a story and coupled with the delicate draping,
curve-enhancing and flowing silhouettes of the collection, Hazel has
created a design narrative that invokes the feelings of joy, freedom and
sensuality associated with the rhythmic sounds of the calabash. As a
result, this collection allows the wearer to celebrate history in a
modern, fresh and high fashion way.”
