REIMAGINED

Fashion Week Rochester launched in 2010 with The Center for Youth to engage the community of Rochester, NY in a three-day event that would spotlight local designers, boutiques, businesses, and artists while shining a light on youth homelessness. Entering our 16th year, we maintain our core mission as we bring new energy into our community.
