Chapter 20 First Event

The weeks leading up to the event had been the most transformative—and exhausting—of Amara’s life. Every moment had been consumed by preparation for her first official fashion show post-launch, which had been christened more of a comeback than a mere collection unveiling. Kemi and the rest of the team had poured every ounce of dedication into the details, making sure that this event would resonate across Lagos and beyond. As the day approached, anticipation mounted. The transformed gallery space where the show would take place glistened with sleek white walls adorned with splashes of color that highlighted Amara's latest collection. Track lighting illuminated the runway, casting a glamorous glow over meticulously arranged seating for high-profile guests. The air was thick with the scent of fresh flowers—lilies and orchids—while soft, inviting music filled the background.
