The mystique of Detroit is how abandoned our city appears for a place with so many creative people. Our streets are empty mid-day. Our suburbs have attractions that rival downtown. We have SUBurban sprawl. The creativity of our youth in the city screams to be heard.
The Abandoned In Detroit project is a fashion showcase for designers and related talent. Inspire people to see what Detroit creates!

This video was created by Video Vision 360 through the Detroit Creative Corridor Center to publicize activities going on during the first Detroit Design Festival. The Abandoned In Detroit project is celebrating six years, since 2005! Check out the event posting on the festival site.
Through the week long festival a photo wall will be exhibiting work from project photographers as we've held over 25 photo shoots with various fashion designers, stylists, models, and have grown the community involved.
Sunday from 3-8pm we will have a fashion show featuring talent from the project and the runway path winds through Red Door Gallery, giving views with the photo exhibition as a backdrop and a walk through the main gallery. There are plenty of close viewing opportunities during the runway show.
There is no admission fee, a donation is welcome as we are partnering with The Friends of Belle Isle Aquarium during the event. Photo sales will be donated through their organization toward the maintenance, restoration and efforts to reopen the aquarium.

Scouting Belle Isle Aquarium (closed)
Yes the aquarium has been closed since 2005 - it needs funding support for maintenance and recovery to reopen. This excursion was to prepare for a large group fashion shoot on-site in a few weeks.
PHOTO SHOOT
The Abandoned In Detroit fashion showcase project will be holding a photo shoot with models, designers, stylists, and photographers on Sunday, September 18 at the aquarium. The project works with registered members to keep their portfolios up to date, bring talent together through the project's community, and assist members in growth in the fashion industry.
EXHIBITION AND FASHION SHOW
The project will be holding a photo exhibition and fashion show during the Detroit Design Festival from September 21-28 (Wednesday-Wednesday), at Red Door Gallery. On Sunday, September 25 a fashion show will be held. During the week-long event series a portion of proceeds is being donated through the Friends of Belle Isle Aquarium toward renovation and repairs to the aquarium.
