The event will include local and national designers, meet and greets, a “Market Detroit” pop-up shop, a Detroit sports lounge, a VIP private reception and an Afterglow bash. There will also be a social media lounge hosted by StyleCaster.com for the online media and bloggers.

The show will feature designers such as Angela McBride creator of Peace Love Spandex, Barbara May creator of BMay Handbags, Cyntia LaMaide, jewelry artist Dina La Montagne, Fotoula Lambros, handbag designers Jenna Kator and Julie Lindsay, avant-garde designer Kelly Lynne and jewelry designer Marlaina Stone.
