Lagos' David Adjaye-designed home for African fashion

Cover

Featured in The Best Fashion Stores in the World

Alára is the Lagos destination where fashion, art and architecture meet. Housed in a sculptural building designed by David Adjaye, it stages a considered mix of global luxury and the continent’s most exciting designers, with a clarity of vision that runs through every detail. More than a store, it functions as a cultural space, hosting art, events and gathering. As both an architectural landmark and a champion of African design, it is genuinely worth the visit.
