Last night I attended Detroit Fashion Week Press Launch Party at the Whitney Mansion sponsored by Uneek Collections. It was a great start to a great week of fashion, makeup and the love of all things creative. Detroit Fashion Week was created six years ago by Brian Heath and he continues to produce the show. The idea is to make people aware of Michigan's fashion industry and what it has to offer.
The party was hosted by CW50 Official Detroit Gossip Girl Lauren Turner. The party also featured up and coming recording artist Lewis Hensley of Uneek Music label. He has a wonderful voice and knows how to entertain his audience. We were also entertained by a live DJ throughout the night and a couple of contortionists.
Uneek Collections showed us a new collection of urban designs that anyone can wear and look fabulous in. They showed new selections of men and ladies clothes to wear from classic shirts to hooded tops. The models makeup were great.... of course that is mainly what I was focused on. Accessories were also modeled from the Jenna Kator Collection of Women Designer Handbags. She has some fantastic styles from the everyday to a night out on the town.
The press party was a chance to network and have fun. I did a little of both and can't wait for what's to come the rest of the week. Below is a couple of pictures I took in one of the rooms in the mansion.
New York may be the fashion capital, but Michigan also has great talent, designers, photographers, makeup artists and models who love what they do. Check out http://www.uneekcollection.com/ for their clothing, etc. and http://www.detroitfashionweek.com/ for more information on designers, sponsors and more.
