IIDA NY & AIA Rochester
2026 Product Runway
IIDA NY Rochester City Center and AIA Rochester are proud to present our fourth Product Runway, a night of fashion, architecture, and design in partnership with Fashion Week of Rochester for a one-of-a-kind runway show featuring original garments capturing the idea of kinetic energy and using 80% building materials provided by industry sponsors.
Local architecture firms, design companies, and industry partners created couture looks utilizing manufacturers’ products as the ‘fabric’ of their handcrafted garment. All pieces were featured at the Saturday runway show of Fashion Week Rochester 2026. Product Runway is a wonderful opportunity for related industries to celebrate creativity in an innovative design spirit with our manufacturers and the Rochester community.
People's Choice Award
A People's Choice Award will be given to the creation receiving the popular vote at our Product Runway Recap Party on Friday, November 6 at Mercantile on Main. Please cast your vote and join us in the celebration of another successful Product Runway event!
