ALARA Hosts Naomi Campbell ‘Art of Beauty’ Book Signing

Lagos played host to guests at the Africa book signing of fashion icon Naomi Campbell’s book Art of Beauty.

At the event which was hosted by luxury retailer ALARA, guests got up close and personal with Ms Campbell over canapés from Nok. Event partners Veuve Clicquot kept the champagne flowing, whilst Belvedere infused cocktails “Supermodel” and “The Naomi” fueled the rooftop afterparty.
