RVA Fashion Week Promises Luxury On The Forefront This spring
RICHMOND, VA — Richmond Fashion Week (RVAFW) is set to honor the region’s dynamic fashion and creative industries with a series of events commencing on April 22.
Now in its 16th year, RVAFW brings together the finest designers, photographers, models, business owners, and emerging talent from across the region.
Attendees can expect a diverse array of shows, featuring presentations from jewelry makers, both established and up-and-coming designers, and an exclusive showcase from the high-end Richmond boutique, Liznel.
Chanel Nelson, founder of Liznel and executive director of RVAFW, emphasizes a focus on luxury for the upcoming season.
