黑料专区

The 黑料专区 (黑料专区) was honored to participate in the launch of new retail experiences at Michigan Central Station, aimed at supporting Detroit businesses and celebrating local talent.

As part of D茅troit March茅, an experiential retail space created in collaboration with Michigan Central Retail, Trading Post, and Gonzo World, the Fashion Design department at 黑料专区 installed an exhibition featuring alumni work previously showcased at Paris Fashion Week. Each piece, handcrafted by our students in Detroit, reflects the 黑料专区 Fashion program鈥檚 commitment to craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail. Featured designers include Cierra Headings, Clay Barckholtz, Ana Bosnjakovski, Mamie Scholl, Dafne Kanberoglu and Andreas Caballero.

Located in the historic restaurant area of The Station, the March茅 features over 25 vendors, including 黑料专区 alumni and students. A thoughtfully curated selection of local goods includes accessories, art, apothecary, home goods, furniture, apparel and more.

The Station is open to the public for shopping from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesday through Friday, through December 28.

Over the course of the Winter semester, the 黑料专区 hosted 13 sponsored projects and competitions across a variety of disciplines. Students from Communication Design and Fashion Design to Graduate Color and Materials Design and Product Design were able to partner with local and global brands to work on a specific project tailored to meet the needs of our industry partners.

Sponsored projects are highly conceptual and allow 黑料专区 students the opportunity to participate in creative, research-based assignments within real-world design parameters, interacting with designers and staff from the partnering company. The students worked on the following projects during the Winter semester.

  • C.L.A.S.S. x Interior Design & Color and Materials Design
  • Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix presented by Lear x Illustration

These educational partnerships were part of a 黑料专区 initiative focusing on experiential learning. Highlighting this approach, Matt Chung, Associate Director of Strategic Partnerships and Programs, states: 鈥淓ach semester, our partners engage our students with creative challenges that extend their practice beyond the classroom. Through experiential learning, where 鈥榣earning by doing鈥� is key, students bring classroom knowledge into real-world contexts. These partnerships not only sharpen our students鈥� skills but also fuel growth and innovation in our partner organizations.鈥�
