ABOUT WALK FASHION
Founded in 2009 by Crystal Bailey and Daishawn Franklin, WALK Fashion Show was created to further propel the emerging fashion scene in their hometown of Detroit. Over time, the production has grown into a traveling show, providing a stage for independent designers, models, and other artists abroad.
The production has proven its success by hosting sold out events at lavish venues including the DiMenna Center for Classical Music during New York Fashion Week, The Michigan Science Center, The Detroit Opera House, and The Charles H Wright Museum of African American History. With celebrity hosts such as Naima Mora (winner of America's Next Top Model cycle 4) and Whitney Thompson (winner of America's Next Top Model cycle 10), WALK has built successful relationships with modeling agencies and buyers across the country, adding value to the WALK brand and making it the largest fashion show in the region.
WALK University was established in 2010 to provide young adults with an entrepreneurial focus on production, design, event management for an afternoon fashion show.
BaileeDai Agency was established in 2012 to allow the models to gain exposure by solidifying paid employment as a professional model, actor and or dancer.
