Alara Lagos

"A concept store by Reni Folawiyo, featured in the Brooklyn Museum's Africa Fashion exhibition, offering high-end furniture, accessories, and clothes from across the continent."

"Located in the same building as Nok, Alara is a concept store that has become earmarked as simply the best place to shop in Lagos. The store stocks several famous and beloved designers like Maki Oh, making it perfect for a fashion or art appreciator dropping in from Lagos Fashion Week looking to do a bit of shopping."

"Alara, designed by David Adjaye, offers a curated selection of African and international labels, setting the standard for high-end shopping in the region."

"Alára is a multilevel concept store selling clothing and furniture, featuring an imposing central staircase and large windows that allow light to pour over leather goods and YSL clothes. It houses the Nok restaurant, which serves dishes like palm-nut prawns with steamed plantains. Alára is located opposite a decrepit property on Victoria Island, but stepping inside, it's a dazzling experience."
