Fashion Takes Center Stage at The Hochstein School

Rochester Fashion Runway returns this fall with Living Provenance, an immersive evening where fashion, art, music, and storytelling converge on the runway. Taking place Saturday, September 5 at 5 p.m. at The Hochstein School, the event will feature visionary designers, community connection, and a curated experience that celebrates the creativity and craftsmanship flourishing throughout the Rochester region.

More than a traditional fashion show, Living Provenance invites audiences to experience fashion as an evolving art form. Designers will present original collections inspired by themes of identity, heritage, and memory, transforming the runway into a living gallery where every garment tells a story. The event continues the evolution of Rochester Fashion Runway, which was founded to create new opportunities for local designers and creative professionals while expanding the city's fashion culture.

Hosted in Hochstein’s historic Performance Hall, the evening will bring together designers, models, performers, artists, and creatives of all kinds alongside industry professionals and fashion enthusiasts. Guests are encouraged to arrive dressed for the occasion and experience an evening where artistry extends beyond the runway.

Tickets for Rochester Fashion Runway: Living Provenance are available now through Eventbrite.
