Fashion In Detroit Debuts This October With a Star-Studded, Premier Designer,
Two-Day Style Spectacular!

DETROIT, July 14 /PRNewswire/ -- This October 1 & 2, 2009, the Motor City will
transform into Fashion City, as Fashion In Detroit - a two-day fashion show
extravaganza to rival other Fashion Weeks around the U.S. - makes its debut in
a tented, high-end setting at the Detroit Zoo, in Royal Oak, Michigan.

Created by Project Runway's Joe Faris, of Birmingham, the Fashion In Detroit
executive committee is made up of Detroit's heaviest hitters in fashion,
beauty and event management: Leslie Ann Pilling, nationally renowned designer
and president of Presence II Productions and Leslie Ann Pilling Design, Rino,
owner of FIGO salon, Karen Buscemi, editor of StyleLine magazine, Lians,
international fashion photographer and co-owner of LM Studios, and K'Kio
Hardin, international designer/art director.

"My purpose for spearheading this event is to put a fashion spotlight on
Detroit and create a venue that fills the needs of many locally based
designers and the Detroit fashion community," says Faris, who will show two of
his lines at the event.

The two-day event will include 12 fashion shows by premier designers, a VIP
private reception, an Afterglow bash with top-name rock concert and "Made In
Michigan" product displays. Each day's admission ticket includes six fashion
shows, gift bags, a souvenir guidebook/lookbook and other fun surprises.

Situated between the dates of New York Fashion Week and LA Fashion Week,
Fashion In Detroit will feature top models showcasing the best designs of
Spring 2010 on a 60-foot runway in a spacious tent with VIP seating, risers
and standing room for 500 guests. StyleLine's Karen Buscemi will host the
event, with music by some of the hottest artists from Detroit.

In addition to creating a sensational fashion event, the FID executive
committee wants to help make a difference for Michigan. A portion of the
proceeds from ticket sales will go to a local charity, plus a grant will be
presented to one local fashion designer. Recognition will also be given to one
person who has made a difference in the Detroit fashion community, with a
donation in his or her name presented to the Detroit Zoo.
