T-Boz & Chase Rolison Team Up for California Fire Relief: Fashion with a Purpose

We just wrapped an emotional and heartfelt conversation with Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins of TLC fame and her daughter, entrepreneur Chase Anela Rolison, about their efforts to support victims of California's devastating fires. (available on the Talking 2LOUD Podcast and our Youtube page, also check out snippets on our social media pages @2loudmag). What we witnessed was more than just a mother-daughter duo—it was a powerful partnership grounded in love, resilience, and a shared passion for giving back.  

From “Chase’s Closet” to “Anela Vintage”  

Twenty years ago, T-Boz opened Chase’s Closet, a boutique inspired by her daughter Chase and designed for the tiny fashionistas of Hollywood. The store was a game-changer, with celebs lining up to keep their kids decked out in the dopest, trend-forward styles. Fast-forward to today, and that same spirit of creativity and entrepreneurship is alive in Chase, who’s launching her own online boutique, Anela Vintage.

Anela Vintage is more than just a tribute to her mom’s trailblazing fashion legacy. It’s a love letter to the iconic styles of the ’90s and early 2000s—an era that defined music, art, and culture. This isn’t just about clothes; it’s about celebrating a vibe, a movement, and a time when fashion spoke volumes.  

Fashion Meets Philanthropy  

To mark the launch of Anela Vintage, Chase is hosting a pop-up shop on Sunday, January 26th, at 2520 Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, GA 90026 from 3-9 PM. But this isn’t just a shopping event—it’s a fundraiser. Proceeds will go to the LA Fire Department Foundation, helping those impacted by the devastating California fires.  

“Living in LA, these fires hit close to home,” Chase shared. “It’s heartbreaking to see friends and neighbors lose everything. I wanted to do something meaningful to help.”  

Her mom, T-Boz, echoed that sentiment: “This is about more than fashion. It’s about community, love, and standing up for each other when it matters most.”  

 In a time when the world feels overwhelming, this mother-daughter team is reminding us of the power of creativity and compassion. Their story is a testament to the fact that fashion can be more than just a statement—it can be a force for change.  

Whether you’re a fan of TLC, a vintage fashion junkie, or someone who believes in giving back, this is an event you won’t want to miss. Head over to 2520 Sunset Blvd on January 26th to shop, vibe, and make a difference.
