Style Profile:FUSION
Fashion, art and music fit together so synergistically that it made perfect sense for Detroit Fashion Pages to put on an event that highlights all three. Fun and stylish people made their way Thursday night to the Detroit Artists Market for FUSION; the union of Detroit's top talent in independent fashion, music and art and DFP was there to talk to those folks whose style stood out from the crowd.
