Abandoned In Detroit, a fashion showcase project began in 2005 with the goal to document the emergence of fashion from the changing landscape of Detroit. Witness a fashion show set in a photo exhibition spanning 6 years and 25 photoshoots.

This photo exhibition and fashion show are the first time for many to publicly witness the documentation accumulated over the past six years. Elements of fashion design, architectural design, graphic design and more are present throughout this week-long happening.

The Belle Isle Aquarium is our 25th photo shoot location, one week prior to the fashion show. This historic attraction of Detroit was shuttered in 2005. We are working to offer a donation and to increase awareness that Detroit has the oldest aquarium in North America. It needs to be open to show the fish of the Great Lakes for all generations.

Project fashion designers have included: Vyrula Zel, Gina T's Hot Girl Collection & Identity Fashions, House of Myonne, Rinaco Styles, Avondreal Style Definitions, Tracy Hang, Clash, Unitee Designs, Michiee Duvale's Eeichim Veedal Designs, Lovestitch, Creationz from Lajuana Crawford, Ziam, Emilio Industries, Detroit Mechanix, Ne Tha De from Lasijas Miller, Accent Your Vibe, Sonj' Couture, Ashley's Knitwear, and Tina Tutt

Project locations have included: Fisher Body 21 Plant, Globe Trading Company, Dequindre Cut, Eastern Market, Michigan Central Station, Detroit Marine Terminal, the neighborhood of Northend, Cass Tech HS, Forest Arms Apartments, and Belle Isle Aquarium.

Hundreds of models, stylists, photographers have participated in photo shoots over the past six years. You may find exhibited photos of attending models at these locations in outfits modeled at the location.
