Murfreesboro, TN – Amelia’s Closet has officially announced the panel of fashion judges for Project ReStyle 2.0, a vibrant fundraiser set for Monday, April 29, 2025. The annual event blends fashion, transformation, and empowerment in support of women striving toward employment readiness and success.
This year’s judging panel features four dynamic individuals known for their expertise, creativity, and commitment to community engagement.
Amelia King Bozeman, an entrepreneurship instructor in the Department of Management at Middle Tennessee State University’s (MTSU) Jones College of Business, brings a wealth of business knowledge to the panel. Previously, Bozeman directed the Tennessee Small Business Development Center at MTSU and led the Business Education Partnership. Her consulting work has supported clients across the business, nonprofit, and government sectors. Known for her lifelong enthusiasm for style, Bozeman reflected on her early fashion choices: as a teen, she returned from a “school shoe” shopping trip with cobalt blue stilettos—a bold pick she was fortunately allowed to keep.
Dr. Jasmin Kwon, also a faculty member at MTSU, holds a Ph.D. in Fashion Marketing from Kyoungpook National University in South Korea and has completed post-doctoral work at the University of Kentucky. Her research explores the e-fashion industry, seasonal shopping behavior, and materialism. Actively involved in the campus and broader community, Dr. Kwon advises the MT Korean Club, leads study abroad fashion programs, and plays both piano and violin in her spare time.
Bobbie Johnson, a longtime Rutherford County resident and banking professional, currently serves as a Financial Specialist at Pinnacle Financial Partners. Johnson has over 30 years of experience in the banking industry and a deep-rooted passion for community service. Expressing her excitement about participating in Project ReStyle, she shared, “This allows me to be both of Service, benefiting Amelia’s Closet, while sharing my own individual styling talents! I so enjoy putting outfits together for myself as well as others.” She added, “A Positive update in your style of dress, can change your entire daily outlook, in all aspects!”
Adrienne Tarola, founder of Nashboro Chic, rounds out the judging panel. Tarola built her fashion brand after running a boutique for six years near Nashville and now connects with her community through social media and brand partnerships. As a mother of four and spouse to a plastic surgeon, she understands the balance between fashion and family life. “Fashion is all about expressing your mood; if an outfit makes you feel good, wear it with confidence!” she said. Tarola looks forward to the event, sharing, “Let’s embrace our unique styles together!”
Event attendees can expect to discover expert styling tips and tricks from local fashion insiders, including Monkee’s of Murfreesboro, Effortlessly Alexis, and Angel Pardue Photography. Whether guests are fashion enthusiasts, advocates for women’s empowerment, or simply there for the experience, Project ReStyle 2.0 promises a night of inspiration and flair.
Amelia’s Closet extends special thanks to presenting sponsor Redstone Federal Credit Union for supporting this empowering evening.
