Detroit Fashion Incubator
has opened its doors at 4737 Grand River in Woodbridge. DFI is intended
to serve as a retail outlet for local designers and a home-base where
they can interact to learn about the business side of fashion.
DFI
will celebrate its grand opening on Dec. 1 with a charity fashion
event. 25 pieces of clothing and accessories—signifying 25 years since
the first reported case of HIV—will be auctioned off to benefit local
HIV and AIDS charities. DJ Minx will perform and the auction will be
hosted by Charles Pugh.
DFI is currently working with 15 local
designers, but has plans to include emerging designers from around
North America as well as overseas.
