Cosmic Roots is not just a fashion show it’s a full-on Afrofuturist celebration.

This immersive experience blends visionary runway presentations, live dance performances, and a high-energy party atmosphere rooted in Black creativity, ancestry, and futurist imagination.

Designers will present bold, forward-thinking collections inspired by culture, innovation, and possibility, while dancers bring movement and storytelling to the stage in between runway segments. But the energy doesn’t stop at the runway…

A live DJ will keep the music flowing all night, and guests are encouraged to come ready to move. Cosmic Roots is a celebration not a sit-down, quiet event. Expect dancing, joy, rhythm, and community.

Throughout the evening, guests can explore a curated vendor marketplace featuring fashion, jewelry, hair & beauty, wellness goods, art, and other creative offerings from local and diasporic makers.

✨ Come dressed to express
✨ Come ready to dance
✨ Come ready to celebrate culture, creativity, and the future

Cosmic Roots is where tradition meets the cosmos and the runway turns into a party.
