How #HansandRenéOwambe broke the Internet
On Tuesday, the 1st of October, Premium gelato brand, Hans and René celebrated Independence Day with a star-studded event themed, ’Owambe’- celebrating our heroes past. The event was held at the brand’s largest outlet in Lennox mall, Lekki.
‘Owambe’ which is pronounced oh/wam/be/ is a popular term used to describe an elaborate form of party often involving a lot of food, dancing, music and spraying of money on a dancing person.
Hans and René took this definition rather literally and came complete with all the features of a typical Owambe.
The event was packed full with guests dressed in their aso-ebi which had been sent to them with their invites.
Some of the other features of the bash included:, drummers at the entrance to the venue, decor and styling by Angelikashomestore featuring aso-oke pieces provided by Bisbod ventures, music provided by Laolu Gbenjo and Dj Obi, spraying of notes from the Central Bank of Hans and René, food provided by Fregz á porter, Cocktails courtesy of Johnnie Walker as well as a photoset and kid’s section styled by Yvent kouture and lots more.
The event was a collaborative effort between Hans and René and its brand partners: Bisbod Ventures, Ile Ila, Taiwo’s touch, The Reading Corner, Yvent Kouture, Johnnie Walker Green Label, the Aga concept, Joel Adu Photography, Honeywell Foods, Kene Rapu, Dj Obi, Fregz á porter, Angelikas home store, Frederick Archibong Photography and Williams Chechet.
In true Owambe fashion, guests did not leave empty-handed. They went home with desserts, take-away packs and souvenirs.
We won’t be forgetting this one anytime soon.
