Fashion with Purpose

Where style meets compassion for LA’s women and kids

The Colleagues Helpers in Philanthropic Service (C.H.I.P.S.) are a group of fifty volunteers working together to provide program and fundraising support to local charities in an effort to help women and children who have been traumatized by violence, abuse, and neglect. With over half a million children living in poverty in Los Angeles alone, we understand how critical it is to support local programs that help break the cycle of poverty and violence.

“The C.H.I.P.S. care like a protective mother for children who have been traumatized by domestic violence and provide them with a safe and happy future."


– Nicola Gerber Maramotti, MaxMara

CHARITIES WE SUPPORT

Vision to Learn

Vision to Learn is an organization that offers eye exams and glasses to children in underserved communities. Providing corrective lenses for young students is such a basic need, and one that is often overlooked by school faculties and staff, parents and healthcare providers.

We're honored to partner with Vision to Learn to help provide children the support they need to excel in academics and life.

Annual Benefit

Each year The C.H.I.P.S host an annual spring benefit featuring a fashion partner. All proceeds raised at the event go to local charities that support women, children, and families. 

Our History

Founded in 1966 and originally formed by the daughters and daughters-in-law of The Colleagues, The C.H.I.P.S. is comprised of volunteers established in the Los Angeles Community.
