Fashion Week of Rochester launched in 2010 to engage the community in a three-day event that would spotlight local designers, boutiques, businesses and artists while shining a light on youth homelessness. In its thirteenth year, Fashion Week 2022 will include six runway shows, and continue to bring awareness and financial support to The Center for Youth’s homeless programs, so no child or youth in our community is faced with an uncertain, unstable or unsafe place to live.
Location
City of Rochester Public Market

In its 12th year, Fashion Week Rochester returns to the runway this fall with five nights highlighting local & national designers, retailers, community leaders and talent. The annual fundraiser for The Center for Youth attracts thousands of people to the region and raises funds and awareness for youth homelessness, youth shelters and emergency programs. Due to the pandemic Fashion Week Rochester was cancelled in 2020. The relocation of Fashion Week to the Rochester Dome is an opportunity to celebrate this regional venue that provided over 240,000 vaccination shots to residents of the greater Monroe County region.
VIP & general admission tickets go on sale Wednesday, September 5th. Tickets can be purchased online at fashionweekofrochester.org. Limited VIP tables for each night are available by contacting fashionweek@centerforyouth.net
