ICYMI: Inside Polo Avenue’s Glamorous Soirée in Honour of Anna-Karin Karlsson in Lagos

Lagos played host this weekend to an evening reception organised by Polo Avenue in honour of Swedish eyewear designer Anna-Karin Karlsson. The event, held at The Delborough Hotel in Victoria Island, brought together guests from the fashion, creative, and cultural communities.

The gathering featured a mix of conversations, networking, and a showcase of Karlsson’s eyewear pieces. The hotel’s setting, known for its refined aesthetic, provided the backdrop for the evening’s activities.

Broadcaster Vimbai Mutinhiri-Ekpenyong served as host, moderating conversations and guiding the programme flow. Karlsson spent the evening engaging with attendees and sharing insights into her design approach and recent interactions in Lagos, including visits to Nigerian designers, a session with students of UNILAG’s Faculty of Creative Arts, and a meet-and-greet with clients at Polo Avenue.

The evening’s highlight came as Ms Jennifer Obayuwana, Executive Director of Polo, delivered moving remarks on the brand’s commitment to offering Nigerians world-class luxury experiences. Her words resonated across the room, setting the tone for a night defined by shared appreciation, for craftsmanship, artistry, and the global story the AKK brand embodies.

What followed was a symphony of laughter, clinking glasses, shimmering AKK eyewear moments, and heartfelt conversations that lingered long after the night ended. It was not just a soirée; it was an emotion-filled encounter between fashion, culture, and community.
