V Style

Beauty radiates from within. V understands and celebrates inner beauty, encouraging women to grow from within, be their best, and pursue their passions. From dancing to rock climbing, running a business to running a family, designing a dress to fighting crime, our readers do it all. The same woman who dons her hiking gear on Saturday morning may put on a sumptuous evening gown that night. The woman who wears conservative business suits for her high-powered career can enjoy colorful, stylish clothing and accessories after work.

In recognition of the diversity of women and their interests, V presents the V Style fashion spread. Each month, Fashion Editor Christopher W. Wilmer brings readers clothing and accessories from local retailers, modeled in a professional, visually appealing manner that is a fashion statement in itself. V Style gives our readers a glimpse into the world of fashion, gives them ideas for their next outfit, and gives our retail advertisers another venue for showcasing their products.
