With models striding down the runway, Fashion in Detroit, a celebration of metro Detroit's fashion designers, got underway about noon today before what organizers called a sell-out crowd.
The event -- taking place at the Motor City Casino in Detroit -- is to consist of ten individual shows, including a show by Farmington Hills native Peter Soronen. His dresses have been worn by Michelle Obama.
The final show of the day is scheduled to introduce Motor City Blues, a new collaboration between Denise Ilitch and Fashion in Detroit founder (and "Project Runway" alum) Joe Faris.
Faris and Ilitch are the organizers of the event.
For years, Faris -- who has designed for Ralph Lauren and Bugle Boy in addition to creating his own labels -- has worked to create a fashion industry in Detroit..
Fashion in Detroit began in 1999.
The first shows of the day included designs -- dresses made from magazines and yogurt packages -- made by students.
