A Look Inside Our rue21 Influencer Photoshoot

During the last week of July, we hosted a group of seven of our rue21 influencers in Pittsburgh, PA for a fun two days of creating content and making meaningful connections. We wanted to bring together a diverse and energetic group of influencers to help bring our first ever influencer photoshoot to life. What came out of these two days was so much more than just content!

Over the course of two days, we shot at various locations around Pittsburgh, showcasing our Back to School collection. From an old-school neighborhood in Pittsburgh to a local high school, we were able to capture our clothing collection in settings where you would actually wear them! 

Now let’s get to the fun part: introducing you to our amazing influencers! Read more about them below:

His presence brought energy, movement, and excitement to the photoshoot, and in return produced some killer content!
