VCU Fall Fashion – Windy Thursday in Review

by | Sep 27, 2013 | ART

It was a windy Thursday here in Richmond, but, as we all know, nothing stops or slows down fashion at VCU. Today, although I was on the campus for a short amount of time, everyone seemed to be really busy and rushing everywhere so thanks to everyone who took time out of their hectic schedules to talk to us and take some pictures.

It was a windy Thursday here in Richmond, but, as we all know, nothing stops or slows down fashion at VCU. Today, although I was on the campus for a short amount of time, everyone seemed to be really busy and rushing everywhere so thanks to everyone who took time out of their hectic schedules to talk to us and take some pictures. Fashion Merchandising majors showed out today with their personal style.
