The Detroit Hottie story by Chandra Alilijah

Forever a Detroit Hottie by. C.Alilijah

Just in case they ask what a Detroit Hottie is.

It’s true! I am moving.

Going on to where…

Can’t completely say at the moment, but it’s somewhere special, groovy, it’s a space of protection.

Before I go, let me explain what a Detroit Hottie is.

The Detroit Hottie

She’s fly, magnetic, not just a trendsetter, but she’s intentional in everything she does.

One thing about this woman is that she’s hardworking; she works for hers. Nothing is given.

Did I mention her style?

It’s oh so unique, it fits her.

The aura, a true force in her world.

That’s the definition.

Unless I change it.

Why did I create the Detroit Hottie collection

To give Detroit women a groovy brand that’s not the typical grit.

We all know Detroit is “hardcore”, the“hustle mentality,” but what about the Detroit women who like pink? Who wanna wear something that reminds them of their childhood or how they grew up.

We’re all different here.

Let me show my difference

Growing up in Detroit as someone who isn’t “popular” or into the typical scene has sometimes felt like, “Where do I fit in here?”

I am not gritty, I am not hood, but I am not suburban.

Grew up on 7 Mile and live less than four minutes away from 8 Mile… but only went to DPS. DPSCD depends on who you’re asking.

My childhood was pretty calm, I mean, I lost my dad to the streets of Detroit at 9 years old.

But overall, my childhood was calm.

I am not Detroit grit, though. What am I?

Is it Detroit’s finest

Pretty chic, my style is me.

A sweet smile, not too cheesy.

Educated, Renaissance High.

One of those MSU girlies.

What do they even call me?

A 7 Mile Hottie

The Detroit Hottie collection was about creating something fun.

No, it is about creating something unique, with a Y2K touch.

Inspired by Mean Girls, to be exact.

She’s not the typical woman, though.

Sure, she’s from 7 Mile, but that’s just a street name.

She’s creative, hot, kinda quirky, even a bit sexy, but she’s a go-getter.

Her environment? Doesn’t crumble her; she knows where she’s from. She cherishes it, but she goes beyond it.

There’s more to this world

The Detroit Hottie collection isn’t ending. I’ll forever cherish my first collection from 6:23 Detroit Shop.

It’s pivoting. My brand originated in Detroit, right in a little ole home off 7 Mile, but our destiny is beyond Detroit.

It’s time for my brand to reach its next heights while still honoring its foundation.

Forever a Detroit Hottie.

With love,

Chan
