#AlaraLovesYou…The Red Day Gig

On Saturday, February 13, design and luxury enthusiasts were treated to Valentine inspired open house day-party tagged #AlaraLovesYou, organised by ALARA, an eclectic luxury store in Victoria Island, Lagos.
 
The concept store hosted a select few to an afternoon of Valentine installations, high fashion, and complimentary-themed treats. For many guests, it was an opportunity to browse from a carefully curated display of objects of African and international origin, whilst they shared their delight at the memorable afternoon.
 
The quintessentially Lagos crowd was a mix of artists and high society, all savouring the stunning views of the David Adjaye designed retail boutique. Special guest, DJ Obi, played on the ‘in-store’ decks while guests explored the multi-level design gallery amid socialising with each other.
 
Glass after glass of the luxury champagne, Veuve Clicquot was served and perfectly paired with innovative cuisine by NOK, ALARA’s fine dining restaurant, which served savoury skewers, Valentine confectionery with more inspired fare.
