This event will be taking place on May 12 at 7 p.m. at the Madison Building Rooftop Terrace & Loft. Aside from the actual show, this will be an incredible social event. You'll become familiar with trends, engage in photo ops and connect and network with vendors and business owners.

Cynthia LaMaide, a local designer known for her one-of-a-kind knitted garments and dressing celebrities like Jennifer Aniston, will be there with collections seen worldwide. There will also be a collection presented by Beely Huang, owner of Designed by Beely, an independent women's apparel and accessories label located in Toronto.

Tickets are $40 and can be purchased here. Your ticket also includes a VIP Social Hour where you can enjoy light bites, live music, vendors and a cash bar. DJ Equad will provide the music, and there will be a live performance by The Brandon Williams Experiment. A portion of all ticket proceeds will go to The Butler Foundation and The Urban Arts Collective.

The Madison Building is located at 1555 Broadway St., in Detroit.
