<\/a><\/a>Taylor Bembery<\/strong> TMI Productions gave Jackson State University students a chance to showcase their talents at the Hair and Fashion Expo presented Sunday, Sept. 16 at the Jackson Convention Complex.<\/p>\n There were a total 13 designers and salons that showcased their talents at the event.<\/p>\n Kristopher Campbell, a former JSU student and creator of the urban t-shirt line \u201cThe Life Style\u201d was one of the designers\u00a0 showcased at the fashion expo.<\/p>\n \u201cI always dreamed of having my own clothing line. I tried to have it the first semester of college but I paid some dudes $600 and didn\u2019t even receive a product. I almost gave up but I didn\u2019t.\u201d said Campbell.<\/p>\n Campbell also explained how he got his inspiration for his urban t-shirt line.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Life Style embodies the grind, the struggle, the pain, the hurt just for the quest to get to the lifestyle that we crave,\u201d said Campbell. \u201cTMI Productions has been hosting shows for seven years. We were just in Hattiesburg, Miss. last week but we have come to Jackson hoping to show some new flavor,\u201d said Elliott Jackson, General Manager of TMI Productions.<\/p>\n He added, \u201cMy first impression was that I really don\u2019t do t-shirt lines in my shows but TMI Productions tries to give the up and coming designers and hairstylists a chance. We also let them showcase their work for free.\u201d<\/p>\n Tamika Smith, a senior marketing major from Chicago, Illi. and Marketing Liaison of the event, explained how much work went into making the Hair and Fashion Expo come to life.<\/p>\n \u201cIt took a year prior to the event because there is a lot of planning and venues that needed to be called. Also making sure your workers, staff, and sponsorships are in order,\u201d said Smith.<\/p>\n TMI Productions is always looking for new talent to showcase in their events.
