Detroit Garment Group has established the DGG Ambassador
Council to complement and support its valued mission of cultivating education and economic
development opportunities for Michigan's fashion community, as well as cut and sew
manufacturers of all industries. Since 2012, the nonprofit has been dedicated to educating and
retaining fashion talent by spearheading initiatives such as FashionSpeak, an annual conference
that focuses on the business of fashion, the DGG Fashion Incubator, which provides designers
with the workspace and resources to build collections while building their businesses, and the
Industrial Sewing Certificate Program, in partnership with Henry Ford College, Grand Rapids
Community College, Lansing Community College, St. Clair County Community College and
Michigan Works.
