I got the opportunity to work with Meghan Mundy, a true Rochester fashonista, this past year. Meghan Mundy is one of the three powerhouses behind Rochester Fashion Week. She also does peronsla styling in the city of Rochester. I was able to sit down with Meghan and ask her a few questions.
Meghan, tell us a little about yourself for those who might now know you.
I am married to Michael Mundy for 24 years. I have two daughters, Caitlin Mundy 17 and Tara Mundy 14. I was born and raised in Summit, New Jersey. I worked in fashion in NYC for 20 years before I relocated to Rochester, New York.
How long have you lived in Rochester?
15 years.
How did you get into fashion?
I've always loved fashion from a very early age. I attended Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC and then worked on Madison Avenue.
Tell us briefly about Rochester Fashion Week...How did it get started? How were you asked to be involved?
I was approached while I was working on a Photo Shoot as a stylist. It started as a conversation and then grew beyond my wildest dreams and it is still growing.
