The Rock the Runway fashion show that presented to a sold-out crowd earlier this year is making a flashy return for its 2012 fashion celebration! Showcasing ensembles found on the racks of Goodwill retail stores, next year’s show will fuse more Goodwill looks and bolder fashions – and did we mention each look can be found on the racks of Goodwill retail stores!
If you attended the 2011 show, you know that the phrase (that captures the sheer shock at the many facets of Goodwill and uttered so often we finally pressed into Goodwill T-shirts last year) “I Had No Idea,” was never more true than at that show. Every attendee saw an outfit that would make them look amazing and knew immediately at what occasion they could sport it. From a suit that screams success to the showstopper cocktail dress that everyone will be talking about at the holiday office get-together, that show offered it all.
For Rock the Runway 2012, we’re bringing back the rockin’ style team that created the looks we now crave, and we’re extending the runway to offer even more combinations for work, play and evening, fresh for spring and summer, and all at Goodwill prices to suit any recessionista…or recessionisto!
And what makes this event so special is when you remember that the money you’ll spend on your ticket will go towards Goodwill’s mission of helping local residents with barriers to employment obtain job training.

The Rock the Runway fashion show is well underway, and among our many volunteers and Goodwill staff members working hard to pull it all together, we want you to get to know the style team. They’ll pull together the set and clothing design, and hair, makeup and jewelry looks for the big day. They love what they do and they love Goodwill so we’re shouting them out!
Meet Catherine, this Master hairstylist has made leaps and bounds in a short career…
After beginning her career assisting International CHI Platform artist Bradley Tuggle
just three years ago, Catherine has already gone on to collaborate with several established photographers and designers, including Dan Routh, Abbie Cooke of Chariot Creative, and Dana LeBlanc Designs. Her portfolio includes work ranging from costume design for stage productions, to runway shows to photo shoots. She is a core member of the “Artist Collaboration Group,” a Greensboro-based team of women, organized to provide end to end art direction and styling for fashion, interior design and photography projects for both high-end clients and charitable organizations, like Goodwill.
Catherine’s latest endeavor is taking on the role of Creative Director for the new Boho Salon located in Downtown Greensboro. Objectives for the staff at the innovative eco-friendly salon are to support the community, the planet and art in as many ways possible. From their 100% vegan product line, displaying and selling local artists’ work, serving Natty Greene’s beer and Green Bean’s coffee, to decorating the salon using furniture found at local antique shops, Boho Salon is committed to its purpose! Not to mention their team’s ability to deliver beautiful and consistent work for their clients.
From behind the chair, to her work outside the salon, Catherine Brockway is passionate about her work, her clients and the community. Come see her work and meet her in person at Rock The Runway on February 24!
