The 10th edition of one of Ghana’s prestigious events Rhythms On Da Runway has been launched in Accra.

This year’s edition, dubbed: “The Green Edition”, is slated for November 20 2022, at the Grand Arena.

The Green Edition is a celebration that will not only glorify the ingenuity of
African talent, but also distill an extraordinary dream to shape up sustainable
fashion in Africa.

This births an opportunity for designers to envision, create, and bring to life unique collections that are as timeless as the nature that abounds in Africa.

As foretells its longevity, this 10th Edition is set to incite designers to tell
sustainable stories with their collections.

This year’s edition will feature top designers and emerging designers from all corners of the African continent.

The event was officially launched at the LOTTE at Cantonments, Accra, by the
Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Ghana Free Zones Authority, Amb. Mike Oquaye, who applauded the organisers for their hard work in sustaining the event for the past decade.

 He underscored the need for stakeholders in the fashion world to make significant strides to abandon fast fashion and help build an industry that is preserving.

The CEO of Nineteen57, Kofi OkyereDarko (KOD) said, “Rhythms on da Runway” has over the years become an important contributor to the creative economy.

He added that it served as a new prospect for developing countries like Ghana to diversify its economies and leapfrog into new, high-growth sectors of the world economy towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.

Among the performers during the night were Edem, Queendalyn, Kwaakwa,
Chris, Vanilla, Franklyn and the Kentosband.
