Summer is finally over, bringing us to the fifth installment of detroit:coded! Welcome! So far it’s been very easy for me to approach beautiful women expressing themselves and ask to take their picture.

Welcome to Detroit-Coded! This is a bi-seasonal fashion column highlighting the expressive people of Detroit captured by me, Sage. I snap photos with my Canon G15 as I run errands in the daytime, enjoy the unbeatable sounds that the nighttime has to offer, and generally explore the vast rusty transforming landscapes of this city. Tune in to witness me attempt to not waste a moment and photograph fashionable Detroiters like I’m catching Pokémon. Trends come and go but style is eternal. Detroit is such a dynamic magical city and it’s an honor to have this task of documenting fellow individuals who take pride in adorning their flesh vessels!...

City goers, like the leaves, have fallen for rust oranges, burnt umbers, and golds this month. However, a “major vein” in color combos has been folks “vamping“ it up in reds and blacks. Something of an eye candy treat has been seeing people out and about in “unseasonably“ super-saturated outfits and accessories—bright pinks, reds, blues, and rainbow patterns...

It’s that time of year––there’s a change in the air, the leaves, and the LOOKS. As NYFW takes place out East, in the Midwest, and especially Detroit, a temperate September seems to bring out the best in people, events, and style. From Dally in The Alley to Detroit Month of Design, everywhere there are things to do and people to see. Similar to the changing leaves, people have been out and about in Technicolor and textures...

Out in the streets, Detroit is selvage-ing the last of summer sun in style. Similar to the weather we’ve been having this past season with dark, stormy skies contrasted by sky-illuminating lightning, end-of-August styles are bringing the heat in high-contrast black-and-white (featuring pops of color, mostly in patterns—can we call florals for pre-fall groundbreaking?)...

The usual fashion centers of the world occasionally take a backseat when designers become curious and exploratory, asking what would it mean to exhibit this work here? How would the work be read if it were premiered there? Of course, within the world of art, music, fashion, design, anything really, things can be much more interesting when the context of place is considered in relation to the content...
