i almost fell over when i went to the NYLON website, and i saw my friend max on the homepage! i'm so happy that richmond street style is finally getting recognized, and it's all thanks to the rad girls at Rumors, casey and marshe. richmond is actually a lot more "scene" than new york in terms of condensation, since it's such a small town and the style revolves around the Fan neighborhood outside the vcu campus. some people think that richmond and hipster style in general is overdone and cliche (and perhaps it is), but the fact is it's just so much more interesting and varied than the traditional style, so people should just be able to dress however the hell they want, and good for them if they get featured in one of the raddest magazines around!

i have a love/hate relationship with this city (long story, has to do with how awesome it is, which can be a bad thing for me sometimes), but it's so amazing that it's coming into its own as a culture mecca; it's no longer a college town that everyone leaves once they finish school, but rather a city in which young people have the opportunity to take the initiative and make a living doing what they love, and Rumors is the best example of that. casey and marshe work obscenely hard to run this miniature style empire-- and, incredibly, not even to make a profit but to put the fashion and the city that they love on the forefront. they fucking ROCK. the end.
