Michigan Fashion Week

 

 
You Better Werk!!!

As I am on a high of the amazing events that are taking place in my hometown. It was only right that I shared with y'all the details on Michigan Fashion Week. That's right New York isn't the only city with a fashion scene. If you are in the Midwest this week you definitely don't want to miss MFW. It's a great way to network and witness fabulous models, stylists, designers, fashion bloggers such as Mia Ray come together in the name of fashion. Michigan Fashion Week is a company that came together to provide exciting fashion shows while also giving a avenue to network. Now in there successful third year they are gaining even more notoriety.

Post Grad Great Depression




Involvement in campus activities+ Great Grades + Internships x Networking = Entry level Position
