Under the glow of emerald lights and the hum of anticipation, Detroit is about to embark on a fashion journey down the most glamorous yellow brick road yet. OZ in the Emerald City isn’t just an event it’s a portal into a world where high fashion collides with fantasy, and every step is a statement of creativity and purpose. On Friday, February 28, at 8pm, the city’s visionaries, tastemakers, and trendsetters will gather for an unforgettable night of couture, immersive storytelling, and philanthropy. Hosted by ALT Agency, Cannababe, and Aesthetic Detroit, this black-tie affair will transform Detroit into a dazzling realm of elegance, artistry, and impact. Follow the golden thread of imagination—this is one event where the magic is real.
Jenna Sankari, Co-Founder of ALT Agency, highlighted that this event is more than just a fashion show; it’s an immersive experience that fuses art, music, and philanthropy to create something truly magical.
“We are proud to highlight and support the incredible talent in our city while raising funds for two critical causes,” Sankari said.
