Hi all my wonderful readers!!!!

     Sorry for the long wait, but I had to make sure everything was right before I post this. The last weekend in June, I along with my best friend went to Chicago, Ill. We really enjoyed ourselves. We went to the DUI fashion show which was the finale for Men's Fashion Week Chicago. Coming from Detroit, a city known for it's mix of classic and future fashion sense, I knew I had to bring it. The show was held at DuSable Museum of African American History located 740 E 56th Pl, Chicago, IL 60637.  The show and the week long event was organize by the one and only Blake Martin. The show was hosted by Tony Harper of VH1's Hollywood EXES and Andrea Kelly of VH1's Hollywood EXES, acclaim choreographer and dancer.

Me on my way to Men's Fashion Week Chicago

      Someone like myself that only see fashion shows on television or just read about them, I had a stereotyped thought in my mind of how it was going to go. The show was high beat the total time which was totally the opposite I thought it was going to be. The show had everything from comedy from the hostess, hot fashion, dance numbers, and celebrity model Sessilee Lopez. Unkowning to me there were a couple designers in the show that were from Detroit. It was great and fresh breath of air to see young people doing positive things and place a positive light on to their city. It was also great to see how the show did not show favoritism between the newer designers and the more known designers. Everyone had their respected time on stage. I know you thinking because it was Men's Fashion Week that it was only clothing for me, but you are wrong there was clothes and designs for men and women. Blake Martin made sure that whoever came to his show would have an expereince unlike anything before. There were a list of wonder designers  at the end of the video and, please go look up all these wonderful designers and their work, you will not regret it.
