On March 11th, 2024, Dubai witnessed the grand entrance of RxRunway, setting the stage for an unforgettable fashion spectacle. This marked a significant step in RxRunway’s mission to revolutionize runway standards. Hosted by Cassandra Lang, a seasoned figure in modeling and design, RxRunway’s first showcase in the Middle East celebrated inclusivity, opportunity, and style.
Since RxRunway’s inaugural show in July 2023, a mere eight months ago, RxRunway has graced iconic fashion capitals such as Milan, Paris, Miami, and New York City—twice.
With a wealth of experience and industry connections, Lang conceived an organization that defies geographical limits, enabling models to grace the runway worldwide. While rooted in Arkansas, Lang’s vision spans the globe, aiming to democratize the runway and open its doors to all aspiring talents.
What sets RxRunway apart is its unwavering commitment to inclusivity. Rejecting the conventional standards that have long dominated the fashion world, RxRunway opens its doors to everyone, regardless of conventional norms. As Lang herself emphasizes, the runway is no longer reserved solely for size 2 models; it’s a stage where diversity thrives and individuality reigns supreme.
RxRunway’s vibrant showcase is powered by emerging designers whose creations invigorate the runway. These talents are discovered through a meticulous process involving social media scouting and applications on RxRunwayTheShows.com. By conducting interviews to ensure compatibility, RxRunway offers a coveted spot for designers breaking into the industry to showcase their collections.
At the heart of the show was Glam2Glo Designz, a brand resonating with resilience and creativity. Founded nine years ago by Tanisha Jenifer, a dedicated mother from Chester, Pennsylvania, the brand’s origin stems from her daughter’s beauty pageant journey. Tanisha’s commitment shines through as she meticulously hand-sews each design, opting for a needle-and-thread technique over sewing machines. With determination and YouTube tutorials, she mastered garment-making, infusing each piece with craftsmanship and personalization that defines Glam2Glo Designz.
As the lights dimmed on last night’s spectacle, RxRunway’s dedication to fostering talent and diversity echoed through the runway. With each showcase, RxRunway reaffirms its mission to redefine beauty and empower aspiring talents toward a more inclusive future.
