Congratulations to Pink Poodle Bridal on opening their second location on the Historic Avenue of Fashion, supported by Motor City Match! ㅤ “Our dresses are not only stylish, filled with quality and affordable, but we have a range for all sizes, with different styles for different themes,” said owner Raeshawn Bumphers.

"It's important for me to build my brand, build my company, this empire, for my children. I have three daughters and I am a role model for them. Also creating wealth, breaking generational curses. No one in my family has a business and I hope that I am an inspiration to my family." Opening BFame Boutique at 10545 Joy Rd. was a no brainer for owner Detroiter Lukisha Williams, who lives only minutes away from her new brick-and-mortar store. Not only does the location give the Motor City Match winner the ability to enjoy more time with her family, but it also provides an affordable and stylish clothing shopping experience for her neighbors. "We always have to go far instead of being within Detroit. You can come right here, just walk up the street, see familiar faces and feel comfortable shopping."

We celebrated the grand opening of Pink Diamond Beauty Mall back in March, but did you know that owner Katrina Belin credits much of her success to her former foster mother? “I didn’t know there was a fashion industry that existed … until I got into the foster care system with her,” Belin says. “She was really that person that bridged that gap and introduced me to the actual industry.” You can read more of Belin's story in Hour Detroit Magazine here: bit.ly/3M9p9Wo
