RVAFW in Photos — April 22 to 26
This One is for the books.
Richmond Fashion Week, RVAFW, did it again for its spring/summer season, SS24. It was a long week filled with fashion shows, mix-and-mingle/networking events and of course, after-parties. I had the opportunity to report on FW for two Richmond-based magazines, Style Weekly and Mostly Sugar.
