A show to remember! Restored Reflections, Inc. founders Rionel Fisher and Tamela Robinson-Fischer held their 2nd Annual Fashion With A Purpose Fashion Show, which was hosted by KJLH Radio Personality Tammi Mac. This event, held at Grand Hope Park in downtown Los Angeles, began with a red carpet and was followed by a fashion show featuring designers from around the world. All proceeds from this event will benefit Restored Reflections, Inc., a non-profit that provides economic impact training, education, and community development to at-risk, inner-city youth and young adults. Continue reading to learn more about four celebrity guests: actor Dustin Harnish, model Sabrina Ann Frontino, actor Chris Levine, and actor Christian McClure, and why Restored Reflections, Inc. is important to them.

Who would you say inspires you fashionably?
When it comes to red carpet fashion for a formal event I would have to say Chris Hemsworth, Gerard Butler and Chris Evans inspire me with their fashion. Plus my wife Alé Harnish is a fashion stylist; so, she gets me right every time.
How would you describe your style?
I would say my style would be somewhere along the lines of an edgy GQ, or at least hopefully!
What are you most excited to see in the show?
The children’s performances, It’s always about the kids and always should be. I’m a dad to a little girl; so, I’m a softy that way.

Who would you say inspires you fashionably?
I have always kept my eye on trends so my inspiration comes from my own fashion sources coupled with my taste for good quality elegant attire! It makes me want to look beyond my own little understanding and try something new, unexpected, and it helps me find balance, not only in my outfit and makeup, but also in life. It helps me be creative and want to explore the world, a fun outfit makes me feel like a superhero and gives me a lot of mental strength.
How would you describe your style?
I would say as a fashion-forward individual. Fashionable without breaking too many rules. I can go for a stylish office spin to loose-fitted clothing.
What are you most excited to see in the show?
I love seeing what trends are coming! Fashion Runways is a time to get excited and to see what trend designers will be introducing in the coming seasons!
Why is the work that Restored Reflections Inc does important to you?
It’s such a huge blessing and honor to be apart of a network within the fashion industry. Restored Reflections brings designers together to unit and assemble the runway with models of talent and beauty! It’s a powerful way to showcase new collections and designs for everyone!

Who would you say inspires you fashionably?
Robert Pattinson, he’s chic and cool. Modern yet classic.
How would you describe your style?
If Justin Bieber and Bradley Cooper styled one person.
What are you most excited to see in the show?
Men’s apparel and trends for next season.
Why is the work that Restored Reflections Inc does important to you?
Giving back has always been a priority of mine. I truly believe the future is bright for us as a country by helping the youth see better days. The ones that have gone through the struggle and made it out are the real American people, and I think they will help guide this country in the right direction as well.

Who would you say inspires you fashionably?
I think fashion as a collective and a whole inspires me fashionably. So many different pieces to choose from and throw together, mixing and matching and trying different looks. If I had to choose though I am a fan of suits and ties, business and on the preppy side.
How would you describe your style?
I would describe my style as chill, laid back, aged like a fine wine, but not out of style.
What are you most excited to see in the show?
I’m most excited to see all of the black designers and their creativity on display. The vision of the designers of now, tomorrow, and the future.
Why is the work that Restored Reflections Inc does important to you?
The work is important because it’s community based, and with a strong community comes love, support and change.
