At the 2025 Green October Event, the runway was more than a stage for fashion it was a platform for inclusion, representation, and thoughtful design. This year’s theme, “Accessible Collection,” challenged designers to rethink creativity through the lens of functionality and inclusivity. And once again, Ranto Clothings rose to the occasion.

Held at the prestigious Oriental Hotel in Lagos, the event gathered industry leaders, advocates, and fashion enthusiasts who understand that style should not exclude. When the lights softened and the music began to build, Ranto Clothings introduced a collection that seamlessly merged elegance with purpose.

Creative Director Bright Urhobo approached the theme with intention. Rather than treating accessibility as a limitation, the brand embraced it as inspiration. The pieces showcased were not only visually striking but thoughtfully constructed garments designed for ease of wear without sacrificing sophistication.

Flowing silhouettes, adaptive fastenings subtly hidden within structured seams, and breathable, movement-friendly fabrics defined the collection. Each look carried Ranto Clothings’ signature bold femininity while quietly incorporating details that allow for comfort and practicality. It was fashion that respects real bodies and real experiences.

The standout piece of the night a sweeping blue gown with fluid layers embodied this philosophy. Beyond its dramatic presence on the runway, its construction spoke volumes about intentional design. It was proof that accessibility and high fashion can coexist beautifully.

Bright Urhobo’s message was clear: accessibility is not a trend; it is the future. In a society increasingly aware of diversity in physical ability, body types, and lifestyle needs, fashion must evolve. The “Accessible Collection” wasn’t just about clothing it was about dignity, visibility, and empowerment.

As applause filled the Oriental Hotel ballroom, one thing became evident: Ranto Clothings is not just designing for the runway. The brand is designing for people.

And in doing so, it continues to shape conversations far beyond fashion.
