Michigan Fashion Week is kicking off a week of events leading up to the 10th anniversary on the Friday of its annual showcase and expo, featuring everything from Detroit designers to celebrity makeup shows.
What is Michigan Fashion Week?
Michigan fashion designer Loren Hicks created the event to connect fashion designers, models, photographers, beauty experts and more with the fashion scene in Michigan.
However, this is not a one-woman show. There is a team that helps with public relations, model coordination, creative direction, social media, and other fields.
How it started
Hicks, a native of Detroit, launched the effort in 2012. She is a fashion stylist, designer, and entrepreneur with a mission to provide fashion advice and encouragement to other women on how to dress and live their lives as they choose.
Hicks has her own brand, called “LOJO,” which has a variety of clothing items, from capes to loungewear to sparkly star-studded boots. The brand promotes body positivity, style and confidence.
New this year
This is the organization’s 10th anniversary and it will feature designers from across the state who specialize in children’s fashion, couture looks, fashion accessories and menswear.
VH1 reality television personality Karlie Redd, known for starring in “Love & Hip Hop Atlanta,” will host and introduce her latest clothing brand, called “Merci.”
The show will also feature other Detroit fashion designers such as Key Da Brand, who specializes in high-end streetwear with their Key Da Brand OMG collection, Kaatje Couture, who also specializes in high-end fashion. More than 20 fashion designers will be present.
Event sponsors include Macy’s, Taubman Centers, Dorsey College and more.
