SUMMARY:River City Fashion Week "A Summer of a Soul"

This special event blends fashion\, heritage\, and nostalgia\, offering an immersive experience that honors the craftsmanship and innovation of Dan River\, a pioneer in the textile industry. \nDan River\, known for its rich legacy in fabric production\, played a key role in shaping the fabric of American style\, particularly during the 1970s.
