Designer Darylynn Mumphord is hosting an event that brings together fashion, philanthropy, and advocacy.
The founder of Dream Rich and Arte de la Moda, Mumphord has spent a decade promoting Detroit’s fashion scene, empowering creatives, and managing Detroit hip-hop artist Baby Money. Now she’s expanding her impact beyond music and fashion by launching “I’m Not Different,” a movement dedicated to supporting people with epilepsy.
“It’s literally the last 10 years of everything I’ve done,” Mumphord says. “It’s a fashion show but it’s a celebration of the last 10 years.”
Mumphord says she had epilepsy, though she hasn’t experienced a seizure since 2019. “I started my brand when I couldn’t graduate with my friends,” she says, adding, “I’m here to motivate, reassure, and tell people they’re not different.”
The “Museum of Divine Art” event will feature art, a fashion show, and appearances (and possible performances) by Baby Money, Lana LaDonna, and others. Mumphord says 50% of event proceeds will go toward education, medical support, and community resources for epilepsy awareness.
Starts at 8 p.m. on Sunday, March 30; Hotel Saint Regis, 3071 W. Grand Blvd., Detroit; eventnoire.com. Tickets are $40 general admission and $60 VIP.
