After half a decade away, Bloom Runway Dynasty made a powerful return to The Melody Event Center, located at 615 SE Alder St in Portland’s Central Eastside—celebrating fashion, Black creativity, and divine purpose.

Founded by Abibat Durosimi, Bloom began as a collective and has grown into a full creative agency rooted in ancestral brilliance and forward vision. With partnerships from institutions like Portland Fashion Institute and support from the 1803 Fund represented by D’Artagnan Calluman, this wasn’t just a show—it was a cultural declaration.

Designer Jocelyn Rice brought the house down with a hand-stamped Harriet Tubman flag and politically charged fashion pieces that embodied resistance and pride.

As Abibat shared, Bloom is about understanding your divine blueprint and building legacy from your God-given gifts.

Herbert Beauclere reflected on the evolution from Bloom Beauty Collective to today’s Bloom Agency—a platform now uplifting artists across all mediums.

This runway wasn’t just a comeback—it was a reclamation.
