Varying in major from fashion and design to marketing and business - together, they embarked on a large-scale project to showcase Richmond's unique fashion and culture.Jason Primose (the originator) along with Erin Brennan, Kearsten Feggans, Moe Medina, Jen Whitehead, Joseph McCullough, Jimmy Budd, and Courtney Culbreath founded what would soon be known as the largest fashion production in the history of Richmond - impacting local businesses, boosting the city's economy, benefiting endless non-profits, getting models and designers discovered by top agencies and publications, gaining national attention, and most importantly - influencing the city's re-branding campaign - tokening Richmond "RVA"- and placing the Cap City on the map!
