Fashion in Detroit: Prophetik by Jeff Garner

Jeff Garner was the second-to-last designer to show his work for the second day of Fashion in Detroit. His clothing line Prophetik uses eco-friendly fabrics and dyes to create clothing that could look at home at a renaissance fair or a rock concert. His designs make sparse use of deep artificial looking colors and modern synthetic fabrics, and instead trend toward a much more organic look. A lot of his dresses and men’s jackets have clear roots in the American south.

Prophetik’s show was also the most dramatic of the day, complete with grass runway, banjo player, and a dramatic entrance from a vocal performer in a cloak.

Highlights from Prophetik’s show:

“Cut the Ugly Out” Fashion Show

A night of fun, debauchery, and charity donations! Above Ground Hair Studio, a fantastic contemporary hair studio, threw a fashion show benefit for Haitian children. The crowded studio did nothing to damper the excitement of the crowd as fantastic models (which included some members of the Tickled Fancy Burlesque Company) strutted their stuff. With clothes provided by The GetUp, and beats by DJ Jamie, the night was a fantastic hit.

Callula Lillibelle: Spring/Summer 2011

Callula Lillibelle Spring/Summer 2011 can be described in three words: Chic. Structured. Cool.

Luscious c0lors, paint-splashed blazers, and magnificent shoulders were only some of the eye-catching pieces of this collection. If only the 80′s were so classy!  A refined and elegant collection of wearable clothing for today’s self-assured woman, any of these pieces would look at home on the fun-loving young professional.
