Excerpt from MLive, 10/8/2014:

LANSING, MI – Michigan’s first incubator devoted solely to fashion design will give budding clothing and accessory designers a shot at developing a collection and taking it to production.

The incubator, located in a newly rehabbed former department store, opens Thursday in downtown Lansing.

“When you’re looking at an industry like the fashion and apparel industry, it’s not exactly heard of a lot where people are staying here for opportunities,” said Jeff Henry, operations manager for The Runway located in the historic Knapp’s Centre building.
