WEAR RVA: An Unforgettable Night of Empowerment, Fashion, and Philanthropy
Get ready for an unforgettable evening at WEAR RVA, a luxury event where fashion, community, and empowerment come together. This isn’t just a fashion show—it’s a celebration of young women, self-expression, and philanthropy. Join us for an evening that will inspire and make a lasting impact on our community.
On Thursday, May 8, 2025, at the stunning Dover Hall, WEAR RVA will return with an exhilarating full-production fashion show unlike any other. Featuring 45+ models from Richmond-area high schools, this event celebrates everyBODY and the incredible journey these young women undertake to become confident, powerful, and unapologetically themselves.
This year’s event will not only showcase the newest from local boutiques and renowned Richmond designers but will also feature an exclusive partnership with Children’s Hospital of Richmond (CHoR) at VCU. Proceeds from this year’s event will directly support CHoR’s mental and behavioral health services at the Virginia Treatment Center for Children (VTCC). Together, we can help ensure that the next generation of youth in our community receives the care and support they need to thrive.

This year marks a thrilling new chapter for WEAR RVA. Founded by Amber Kay Reinink Pelletier and Taylor Pitera, this event has been an emblem of empowerment since its inception. Their vision—to create a community where high school girls are celebrated, empowered, and supported—has blossomed into a Richmond tradition, impacting over 250 teen models and raising more than $30,000 in scholarship funds. Now, as the organization deepens its commitment to the future of youth mental health, we invite you to stand with us in support of these incredible teens.
This year’s luxury, immersive experience will take you on a journey of elegance, inspiration, and philanthropy. But it’s more than just a night of glamour—it’s a testament to what happens when a community comes together to raise young women up, to help them discover their true potential, and to support a cause that touches the lives of children in need.
This is your invitation to be a part of something extraordinary—an evening where fashion meets philanthropy, where your presence has the power to change lives. Interested in seeing last year's recap? Watch Here!
