The Rio World Runway Show
Overview
The Rio World presents A Poem and a Protest, an immersive evening of fashion, music, performance, and art. Honoring creative spirit and cultural expression while celebrating the Latinx community of Los Angeles, the event debuts The Rio World’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection—a striking balance of brilliance and resilience. Vibrant, hand-crafted designs express optimism and imagination, while structured, utilitarian pieces embody strength and purpose. Together, they form an elegant armor for the modern nonconformist. Guests are invited to experience fashion as living art, discover their new favorite work in The Broad’s galleries, and revel in a night celebrating identity, artistry, and community.
