Fashion inspirations from Asia to Africa and everywhere in between will be modeled by a diverse group of Heyman Talent models while DJ Samosa mixes global fusion music. The evening’s festivities will also include live performances by Chase Dean, NCrediblez and B Simm, and local performer and owner of CC’s Low Carb Kitchen, Corey Milliman, who will host a special scene featuring Style Icons of Louisville.
