In the heart of Victoria Island, Lagos, the Spring/Summer ’24 Capsule collection titled “Playground” by House of Marvee unveiled its latest sartorial vision in a dazzling display of couture craftsmanship. The penthouse of Pier Harbor Apartments was ingeniously transformed into an immersive House of Marvee gallery, attracting a diverse crowd of fashion enthusiasts and industry connoisseurs from across Nigeria.

Creative Director Marvy Joma, the visionary force behind House of Marvee, describes “Playground” as a collection emanating from a place of empowerment. It offers women not just clothing, but a canvas to confidently portray their femininity with style and strength. “The ‘Playground’ collection encapsulates the essence of navigating life’s uneven terrains. Each piece stands as a testament to individuality, crafted with an array of carefully selected fabrics, meticulous beadwork, and a vibrant, unconventional color palette,” explains Joma.
