Body art exhibit proceeds donated to St. Jude’s

A local fashion designer found an interesting way to raise money for charity.

Reginald Robinson hosted his first Body Art Exhibit at the Hyatt Place Biloxi. More than ten models were there to showcase body art.

Robinson tells News 25 he was drawn to South Mississippi, recently moving from Michigan in hopes of jump starting his fashion brand.

Robinson says he chose to donate the proceeds to St. Jude’s because it is important to give back when possible. “I believe giving back is essential to being a good businessman. I like to give back to different foundations because I have children myself and you never know when a child could be in need.”

Some of Robinson’s designs will be featured in New York Fashion Week this September.
