The recently celebrated 30th anniversary of the Fair and White Paris skincare brand, along with the accompanying beauty pageant, was all the buzz. Online, young fashion and beauty influencers share snippets of the event ubiquitously, recounting their experience at the soiree, which took place at The Civic Centre, Lagos, last April, to their large pool of followers. From the ambience, meeting their favourite celebrities, fashion, cuisine to enjoying the musical ecstasy of Iyanya and Chike, they dished out every detail to their curious followers. As one influencer puts it, it was “a full experience.”
For Ogonna Chibueze, the newly appointed executive director of the brand, the event couldn’t have gone better. It was her first time spearheading a major milestone event for the company and, as she admitted during a recent virtual meeting, it was no easy task. She had to pull all the strings to ensure everything ran smoothly.
