Ivory & Pastels Featured in BellaNaija: Reflections on the ZackStyling Luxury Masterclass Bridal Edition
We are absolutely thrilled to share that Ivory & Pastels was featured in BellaNaija’s coverage of the highly anticipated second edition of the ZackStyling Luxury Masterclass – Bridal Edition, which took place in Lagos on May 21–22, 2026.
Titled “ZackStyling Luxury Masterclass Returns With Inspiring Bridal Edition Focused on the Future of Fashion in Africa,” the BellaNaija feature captures the energy, elegance, and forward-thinking conversations that defined this gathering of some of the most respected voices in bridal styling and luxury fashion across the continent.
As Founder & Creative Director of Ivory & Pastels, I had the honour of joining the panel as a guest speaker, sharing practical insights on “Building a Sustainable Bridal Styling Business.” The masterclass, masterfully curated by Creative Director Zack Aminu of ZackStyling Luxury, brought together stylists, designers, entrepreneurs, and creatives for deep-dive discussions on craftsmanship, storytelling, professionalism, brand building, and the evolving role of sustainability in African bridal fashion.
At Ivory & Pastels, every bride we style is at the centre of a deeply personal story. Whether we’re curating a bespoke moodboard, sourcing timeless accessories, or coordinating with the finest tailors and vendors across Lagos, Dallas, and beyond, our approach has always been rooted in intention, precision, and quiet luxury. Being part of this platform felt like a beautiful full-circle moment — an opportunity to not only celebrate the artistry of bridal styling but also to speak openly about building businesses that honour creativity while remaining sustainable and future-focused.
The energy in the room at the Oriental Hotel was electric. From emerging talents to established industry leaders, everyone left inspired to push African bridal fashion onto the global stage with even greater confidence and purpose.
We are deeply grateful to Zack Aminu and the entire ZackStyling Luxury team for creating such a meaningful space for knowledge-sharing and collaboration. A huge thank you to BellaNaija for the beautiful feature and for continuing to shine a light on the incredible work happening in Nigeria’s luxury fashion and bridal space.
