Ladies and gentleman, RVAFW presents the FORCE behind the Elevation. As we’ve stated, Season 18 was about bringing RVAFW to new heights — creating not only an Elevated experience but giving Richmond something to take with them after exiting the rooms. Our 2026 Coordinators ensured this was felt. They were entrusted with a vision and they showed up, worked hard and made certain that the implementation of even the smallest detail reflected Elevation. One may ask, “how could an event of this magnitude be pulled off?” And there’s only one answer to that — the dedication of our Coordinators. RVAFW could not have functioned as smoothly as it did without each and every last one of your masterminds. We want to recognize and give a distinctive thank you to:

- Logistics Coord.lilo - Fashion Ops Coord.
- Fashion Ops Coord.
Catalina Porter - Fashion Ops Coord.
Aaliyah Antandre-Impala - Fashion Ops Coord.
- Runway Experience Coord.
- Beauty Advisor
- Photography + Media Coord.
- Social Media Coord.

Until 2027.

Season 18 was the season of Elevation — taking Richmond Fashion Week in a new direction. But not only did this season promote Elevation as this year’s theme, but as a way of life for Richmond as a whole. A mission of this standard involved the hard work and brilliant minds of our 2026 ALL women leadership team. Together they were able to establish and execute an environment where attention to detail was felt, quality of the craft was seen, and intention behind the creation was embodied. This moment is to give a special thank you to:

- General Manager
- Logistics Manager
- Beauty Managerjackk - Social Media Manager
- Media Managererica - Marketing & Partnership Manager
- Fashion Ops Manager

These women understood the concept and made it their mission to incorporate Elevation in all aspects of the show along with the intention of spreading Elevation throughout Richmond overall. This was no easy task but our leaders were dedicated to making this a reality. Thank you to our magnificent leadership team behind the Elevation.

Until 2027.
