RVA Fashion Week’s annual Fall Fashion Weekend took place the second weekend of October, and photographer Nick Brown was on hand to document the sights for RVA Magazine.

An October weekend brought premier runway fashion to Richmond, as RVA Fashion Week presented its 6th Annual Fall Fashion Weekend, beginning Thursday, October 10 with a designer preview and wrapping up Sunday, October 13 with the main event, the Fall Designer Show, featuring over a dozen designers.

Action was intense throughout the weekend, and photographer Nick Brown was on hand to document it all. Friday evening’s 3rd Annual Runway2Life was an event put on by the nonprofit Runway2Life, which seeks to raise awareness and encourage conversation around the subject of mental health and suicide prevention.

Last weekend in Richmond, Remi Wolf took Brown’s Island and didn’t give it back. Her sound doesn’t fit in a box — pop, funk, soul, indie — all smashed together and dragged through the dirt. Openly fluid, proudly weird, she’s built a world where you don’t ask...

Weedeater isn’t here to gently persuade you—they’re here to erase your existence from the inside out, a frontal assault of the auricular. Over two decades into their bourbon-fueled, smoke-shrouded descent through stoner-metal chaos, the North Carolina trio unleashed a...
