Last Friday, Swedish couture eyewear designer Anna-Karin Karlsson (AKK) lit up Lagos with an intimate, cabaret-inspired evening at the Delborough Hotel, transforming the space into a jewel-toned world of theatrical glamour and sculptural fantasy.
Hosted in partnership with Polo Luxury, the event reflects the retailer’s ongoing commitment to bringing the world’s most exceptional luxury brands to West Africa, and to positioning Lagos as a rising global fashion capital. As one of the driving forces behind introducing international luxury houses to the region, Polo Luxury continues to shape the cultural and retail landscape through moments like this.
The evening blended cabaret theatrics with a playful, card-coded visual language, echoing AKK’s signature design philosophy: bold, unexpected, and unapologetically opulent. Against green velvet draping, rich lighting, and surreal performance moments, guests experienced AKK’s couture frames up close, including standout pieces from her latest collection.
The evening marked AKK’s continued expansion into the African luxury space, a celebration of craftsmanship, individuality, and Lagos’ growing influence on global culture.
