Corporal Hoffman Series - Preview

Corporal Hoffman Series logo patch [Fashion Has Heart]

[Fashion Has Heart] is a Grand-Rapids based nonprofit organization that I've had the pleasure of assisting founder and CEO, Michael Hyacinthe, in building the past 8 months. The mission of [FHH] is to utilize the power of fashion, art, and design to benefit the wounded soldiers that are returning from battle and are trying to integrate back into civilian-life.

The Corporal Hoffman Series has recently developed through working one-on-one with Corporal Josh Hoffman, a U.S. Marine who was shot by a sniper's bullet while on tour in Iraq 4 years ago. The bullet entered his spine and left him paralyzed from the neck down, leaving him unable to speak or eat. He communicates through a unique code that is featured in the designs that will be made in "skins" and t-shirts.

The launch party, where Corporal Josh Hoffman's designs will be revealed, is this Friday, December 9th, from 6PM-9PM at Regal Financial offices: 2687 44th Street, Kentwood, MI.
