DAYTON, Ohio - TelAve -- Dayton, Ohio. Strong community interest is building around an initiative that could bring Dayton its first ever fashion college.

Milwaukee based Edessa School of Fashion, the Midwest's only designated fashion school, is collaborating with Dayton and Cincinnati based (DE-FI) Global INC to explore bringing a fashion college and expanded fashion education opportunities to the region.
