This year’s Rhythms On Da Runway has been launched with a call on designers to take instruction from the theme, Kente Edition.
Kente is a Ghanaian textile made of hand-woven strips of silk and cotton. With its rich history and timeless beauty, it represents the heritage of Ghana and the spirit of African creativity. It is a symbol of craftsmanship, sustainability, and tradition.
Speaking at the launch held at the Silver Star Towers on Saturday September 21, Producer and Creative Director of Rhythms On Da Runway, Yvonne Ocloo said, “for over a decade, this event has been a celebration of the powerful intersection between fashion, culture, and music.”
She stressed that from its humble beginnings, Rhythms on the Runway has evolved into Africa’s largest cultural extravaganza, as recognized by the BBC, and has grown into a platform that amplifies the voices of African designers and artists across the globe.
