The ruffle inspires fashion at DIA

Wayne State fashion design student Leeanna Laliberte is quoted in a story about a fashion show at the Detroit Institute of Arts tonight. Laliberte designed an evening gown for the runway fashion show, which challenges local designers to draw inspiration from the museum\'s installation of works by the 17th-century Dutch portrait artist Gerard ter Borch and to reinterpret the ruff, or ruffle. \"I really wanted to make a piece of art,\" says Laliberte. "This was quite time-consuming. On one sleeve alone there are more than 88 cupcake liners."
