On The Town: Frida Grand Opening
We arrived fashionably late to the grand opening of Frida and it. Was. Packed. A Mariachi band played outside of the store while a group of curious and trés chic fashionistas filtered in and out of the store, some leaving with Frida’s signature unibrow drawn in on their foreheads. If there were enough room to sit and chat, it would have been an unbelievably grand party but everyone dutifully came in, browsed the Frida-inspired wears and congratulated Rachel, owner of Frida (a

On The Town: Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for the Industrial Sewing Certificate Program
“The idea began almost two years ago when Mark D’Andreta of TDIC, which is a cut and sew company in Sterling Heights, and his wife Lynne were chatting with me about the difficulty of finding skilled industrial sewers,” said Karen Buscemi, President of DG3.
