Before I continue with this post, I would like to wish this certified fashion killa and all around awesome gal a very, very happy birthday! Jordan is someone making huge strides in the Detroit fashion scene - I love her sense of style, her can-do attitude and the fact that she's just one of the most stylish engineers I've ever met! Get to know Jordan in the continuation of our #DetroitXNYFW blogger collab after the jump!

A remarkably feminine yet funky style? Check. A killer attitude and a brilliant smile to boot? Check and check! For the next edition of our Detroit x NYFW Blogger Feature, I am more than happy to introduce to you Melissa Hill, or Mafia Mel, as she prefers to be known in these circles. Mel is definitely something. She is probably one of the more spirited young people you'll get to meet, and she's poised and at the ready for success. There's never a dull moment with Mel, that's for sure!

Get to know Mel a little better with her quick Q& A after the jump:

If you ask any fashion girl what THE dream is, I think everyone would be unanimous about New York Fashion Week. You know what I mean by the dream - the ultimate highlight to anyone's career; the ultimate sight to see, the ultimate #fashiongoal. It happens like clockwork every year as all eyes are glued to New York City and how it basically sets the stage for all the trends for the upcoming year. Like what Miranda Priestley said in THAT scene we all remember from the Devil Wears Prada, it affects everyone (even if you don't consciously think it affects you). Economies are moved, companies rise and new talents emerge, and trends are very much set. Again, NYFW jumpstarts it all every single year. 

Now, we may not be able to personally be there for the action (someday, though!), but who says we can't celebrate all that glitz and glamour right here in our home turf? I had the chance to collaborate with some of my blogger girls for a New York Fashion Week special, Detroit fashion blogger style -- see more photos after the jump!
