Our Story
Thank you for showing interest in learning about our company. Let’s dive into the story of Fashionwalaa.com, which was launched in 2024, but we have been working in the market since 2017 under the name Hagaz Creations Pvt. Ltd. So, why did we launch Fashionwalaa? Let’s go back to 2015. In this year, our founder was doing freelance design work for some fashion brands. He, along with a friend, opened a fashion boutique in Andheri East, Mumbai, called Gulam Azad Designer Boutique, where mostly customized bridal and party wear products were designed according to clients' requirements. This business, a combination of brand design consultancy and the boutique, started to grow rapidly. However, Azad felt that while he was doing well on his own, he should also do something for aspiring fashion designers. That’s when he launched an e-commerce portal called My Designer Hub for them. Azad and his team worked tirelessly on My Designers Hub, but it didn’t receive a strong response in the market. Then, in 2017, demonetization happened, and not only did My Designers Hub struggle, but the boutique and design consultancy business also began to falter. Eventually, the entire story of My Designers Hub came to an end. Due to demonetization, his main business of bridal customization was also on the verge of shutting down, with only a few brands for whom they were still doing design work. At that time, he realized that just focusing on design wouldn't be enough. Azad began consulting for fashion companies, not just in design but also in production. Gradually, his knowledge grew, and he started offering consultancy services for brand management and factory setups as well. This led to the registration of a new company, Hagaz Creations Pvt. Ltd.
Things were going well—sometimes up, sometimes down. And then, the lockdown hit.Then, as we all know, the lockdown happened. Once the lockdown ended, Azad’s consultancy work slowly resumed. Azad reopened his fashion boutique, but this time, instead of an offline store, he started doing the same work entirely online. Over the years, the boutique had built a client circle, and a lot of work came through referrals. So, the same business was converted to online, and it continues to this day under the name Fashionwalaa.
And during that time, he noticed that many small brands he knew had shut down. This made Azad think about how he could share his knowledge, not just to help small brands survive, but to enable them to grow stronger. During this time, he remembered My Designers Hub. Now, his mission wasn’t just to work for designers but to help those whose dream was to become a designer but couldn’t fulfill that dream for various reasons. That’s when the idea of Fashionwalaa came up, and after two years, in 2024, Fashionwalaa.com was finally launched. Fashionwalaa.com works with two concepts. First, it provides proper training for those who want to start a new business in the fashion field, covering everything from fashion designing to launching a fashion business, and how to expand that business step by step with small investments. Second, for those who already have a business in the market, we offer consultancy services—everything from designing to managing the entire brand and helping them become a well-known brand. So, you could say that we work in both edutech and consultancy.This is our story. The Fashionwalaa team sincerely thanks you for taking an interest in our story and reading it through.
Thank you.
