Carmila Chinn-Hampton Legacy Foundation presents Color Coded Explosion fashion show

The legacy of fashionista Carmila Chinn-Hampton continues keeping her foundation in the spotlight with a “Color Coded Explosion” event on October 27, 2024.

The Hilton Hotel on Countyline Road will be the host site for the Carmila Chinn-Hampton Legacy Foundation fashion show that is being presented as part of the Foundation’s yearly fundraiser. Pam Junior, former director of the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum and longtime fashionista, will serve as emcee for the event.

Jacquline Chinn-Hill, the sister of Carmila Chinn-Hampton, once again has organized an elegant fashion event in keeping with the mission of her sister’s Foundation to bring awareness to the tragedy of domestic violence towards women and children.

According to  Ms. Chinn-Hill, “This year’s event will be educational, entertaining, and spiritual with speakers to include author Cordelia Funchess (domestic violence survivor), Anthony Clay (Spiritualist), Justis Gibbs (Mississippi State Representative), and entertainment provided by Pierre & Pierre, LLC.”

The models for the fashion show were selected by Ms. Chinn-Hill from an open call that was held in June 2024 at the Belk Department Store. As a special focus, this year will have special children’s scenes with models ranging from ages 6-15.  Adult models will cover all ages that feel confident enough to walk this hot runway. All models for the fashion show are being trained by Ms. Chinn-Hill. 

Women’s clothing for the fashion show is being provided by It’s All About “U”, an online boutique owned by Ms. Chinn-Hill. It’s All About “U” can be viewed at www.poshmark.com. A special men’s line is being offered by the LIT Brand Collection in Pearl, Mississippi, at the Outlets of Mississippi in Suite 223 (phone: 601-842-2754).
