The Lynn Museum's Epic Fashion Storm: How Two BFFs Are Redefining Event Magic!

Hold onto your hats, folks, because we’ve got an event extravaganza that shook the Lynn Museum—and trust us, you don’t want to miss this! Eleny Rossi, a trailblazing 2014 grad from Pope John XXIII High School, is taking the event planning world by storm, and her debut was nothing short of spectacular. Imagine a night bursting with fashion, music, dancing, and poetry, all under one roof!

Stepping up to the stage with her powerhouse partner, Jillian Rodriguez, who just so happens to be her BFF from their UMass Amherst days, Rossi co-launched Regal Collaborations in July. Their ambitious maiden project? A “Fashion Showcase” that set the town’s vibe-o-meter to max!

“We’ve been kicking around ideas since our university days,” Rossi revealed. “It hit us after witnessing a mind-blowing fashion show in Lawrence—why not bring this magic to Lynn, a city craving creativity and connection?”

And did they deliver? Heck yeah! With the venue buzzing with energy, hosts Bright Osajie and Angelica Castillo ramped up the excitement. The event flaunted jaw-dropping streetwear to luxe looks, thanks to model coordinator Adesuwa Usuanlele and top-notch designers. Even food show sensation and Everett darling Victoria Fabbo strutted her stuff on the runway. Can we say #Wowza?

What else is this multi-talented maven up to? Rossi’s the culinary mastermind behind El’s Flour Garden, conjuring cakes that taste like dreams for any special occasion. Meanwhile, Rodriguez is knitting her mark in the crochet scene with her new brand, Let’s Be Knotty. Crafty, right?

Their college days at UMass paved the way for these incredible ventures. “Being part of the Latinos Unidos group stirred my passion for event planning,” Rossi confessed. And judging by the turnout, it’s clear people are smitten with their vision. “We had to bring in extra chairs!” Rossi exclaimed, brimming with excitement.

But they're not stopping there. Next on their agenda? Paint parties, open-mic nights—you name it! “Our mission is bigger than just throwing events,” Rodriguez stressed. “We’re all about boosting local talent and bringing communities closer.”

Rossi, who was a volleyball powerhouse back in high school, fondly reminisces her formative years at Pope John XXIII. “It was an amazing, close-knit environment, learning from all walks of life,” she shared.

Keep your eyes peeled, folks—Regal Collaborations is just getting started, and who knows what sensational spectacle they’re cooking up next? Stay tuned for more local talent, more creativity, and more unforgettable nights!
