Looking back on the last few months, I find myself grateful and proud to have come this far. From July, when the concept of WORKROOM was just a twinkle in my eye, to now being in the last hours of the competition. All along, before the concept was created, it was always a reflection: the every day of my fashion business and those who I already know and love for who they are. Great and wonderfully talented people. So far, life is good. A few bumps in any path is to be found at times, but hope has always been the motivator of persistence, the support we have received by the people of Detroit and community of creatives here, has us feeling we have already won. The response from the public and those involved in the competition, tells us we are on the path to a greater place. The place where Detroit could see it's first Garment District business, and the space within that place can grow and allow an industry to thrive. Getting this far, in this competition, in life, in craft, ALL reinforces how our roles, especially how WORKROOM, ultimately affects the people and places in Detroit.
Every one in the WORKROOM crew and Detroit, is doing what they love, and their product show it. All of us in the WORKROOM crew, have been making unique things and working together for some time now. From forward thinking design concepts and techniques, to fun ways to exhibit and sell our goods, WORKROOM lends to the diversity of business that should be found in Downtown Detroit. A Garment District business is what we offer and we feel that Capitol Park will be the perfect setting for our commerce in Detroit, and an opportunity for us to grow within.
