FASHION WEEK OF ROCHESTER

Fashion Week of Rochester, launched in 2010, is an annual three-day fashion show that benefits the Center for Youth Services. Last year, Fashion Week raised over $550,000 for the Center to support it’s initiatives such as New Beginning House, the Crisis Nursery, and Chrysalis House. In the weeks leading up to the show, third-year photojournalism students at Rochester Institute of Technology visually documented stories from the community of individuals connected to Fashion Week, from designers and models to firefighters and nurses.
