Detroit Fashion Incubator to hold grand opening Dec. 1

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.
