Go 'n Groove to Fashion Week of Rochester

Who is getting excited for Fashion Week of Rochester?

There are some really fun events planned this year.  It keeps getting bigger and bigger.  I was thrilled when Karen, owner of Go 'n Groove Organized Women's Trips contacted me about what she is doing for Fashion Week.  

Here is a little note from Karen:

Two years ago my friends, Meghan Mundy and Chantiza Stern, started Fashion Week of Rochester. Since then it has raised over $150,000 benefitting the Center for Youth, an organization offering young people seeking to deal with, explore, or understand issues of importance to them - from their perspective, and on their terms.

A few months ago, it dawned on me, how about sharing the Fashion Show with those outside of the Rochester area? So I put together a weekend for ladies to come experience this great few days of activities. Since then I have come to the realization that although I like coming all this way for the Fashion Week, others may not. So I have changed the Weekend Package to the Fashion Week of Rochester Events as many locals started asking if they could come to individual events.

So, following are the events I have put together for Fashion Week of Rochester: The Boutique Crawl via Limo With Lots of Fun, The "Art" of Fashion Evening Package, A Cooking Class with Chef K2, The "Height" of Fashion Evening Package and The "Flavor" of Fashion Afternoon Package.

Look forward to seeing you on the runway!

Cheers! K-

Arete' Gallery focuses on its community and the talented local artists residing within the community. The word Arete' is a Greek word and in its basic sense, means excellence of any kind. In its earliest appearance in Greek, this notion of excellence was ultimately bound up with the notion of the fulfillment of purpose or function: the act of living up to one's full potential...which fits this galleries local artists and their art work. From the gallery, head over to The Art of Fashion which will be a runway show located at the new Culver Road Armory.
