It hardly bears repeating that the challenges facing Detroit fashion retailers and designers are numerous – not least for those that don't have the right connections, both prejudges and lack of resources has caused many to give up. But not Patricia Johnson of Amazing Apparel Two who recently had to close her brick and mortar store and found a home at the Eastern Market. Every day you have to be resourceful and inventive. 

"I have experience what I thought was prejudges when dealing some manufacturers; they'd price something higher than the person before me or sometimes they don't want to share information," believes Johnson. "Some will have unreasonable requirement that aren't required of there's so finding the right manufacturers and forming the right partnerships with people that want to see you grow is important. It's most important."
