Our first ever pop up was a success! Ankaranistas shopped like a boss at All Things Ankara Pop Up 2017 : DMV!
As attendees made their way in to the pop up , they saw big gold ATA Balloons, which represent the acronym for All Things Ankara, and
also the official All Things Ankara Pop Up 2017 welcome banner.
The front of the location had beautiful plant walls. It gave me major California vibes.
Ankara Street Style photos of attendees were taken by Bunmi Abari also known as Kodak Junkie. See the post on the Ankara Street Style at the pop up here.
This Photogroup Inc. studio was a fantastic location for the pop up. The studio included a vast open space, a high ceiling and an eye catching cyclorama wall.
The ankara print clothing, accessories and fabrics popped on the white cyclorama wall. Many thanks to Barry and Anne for the excellent customer service.
Brand ambassador models wore merchandise from brands selling at the pop up to increase awareness and generate sales.

Wilson Ebo, the male model in the All Things Ankara Pop Up 2017 Campaign also stopped by as well.
2/4 sale associate cashiers, Modupe Oluwalade and Chidi Nwaneri did an exceptional job checking out purchases.
Modupe Oluwalade is also a fashion model. It was only right she served the camera with a dope pose.
Customers left with white All Things Ankara logo shopping bags, similar to the bags in the All Things Ankara Pop Up 2017 campaign.
Many thanks to everyone who made this event a success. Rock on!
