Model on previous Rhythms On Da Runway
Fashion and music event, Rhythms On Da Runway (RODR) is set to return on November 28, 2026, with an edition focused on inclusion and unrestricted self-expression.
The 16th edition of the annual showcase will take place at the Palms Convention Centre on the theme ‘UNBOUND’, bringing together fashion, music and culture.
The organisers say this year’s theme is designed to challenge traditional ideas about who gets to be represented on the runway.
Rather than limiting fashion to particular body types, ages or abilities, RODR 2026 will feature models from diverse backgrounds, with different abilities, body shapes and personal experiences.
The organisers believe fashion should reflect everyone, insisting that people should be able to see themselves represented when they watch a fashion show.
The event will also place emphasis on the next generation of creatives, providing opportunities for young people to interact with established designers, gain practical experience and explore careers in fashion and the wider creative industry.
Discussions around adaptive fashion, accessibility, mentorship, talent development and employment are also expected to form part of the broader ‘UNBOUND’ initiative.
RODR organisers are also inviting sponsors, development organisations and donors to support initiatives aimed at disability inclusion, youth training, creative enterprise and accessible experiences.
The night will feature collections from leading designers, live musical performances and appearances by celebrity models from Ghana and the African diaspora.
The Black Star Awards will also return, honouring personalities whose leadership, development initiatives and creative contributions are helping shape Africa’s future and its Orange Economy.
