Grammy winner Mary J Blige kicked off GM Style 2008 when she took the stage singing "Just Fine." Followed closely behind her was a vintage 1953 Chevy Corvette and six models sporting the latest fashions from Marciano for Guess?. Blige gave the crowd two more songs serenaded by a Buick Riviera Concept, 2008 Cadillac Escalade Platinum, 2008 Chevy Malibu LTZ and the Saab Turbo X. Models sporting hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons Argyle Culture Collection made their way down the catwalk. Simmons himself appeared at the end of Blige's set to slap hands with his models and receive a warm ovation from the crowd.

Listen to remarks by GM Exterior Color and Trend Designer Chris Webb, Sr. Vice President of Marketing Argyle Culture/Rush Communications Myorr Janha and GM Global Design Vice President Ed Welburn.

General Motors' GM Style 2008 is a car studded music and fashion gala that kicked-off the 2008 North American International Auto Show. Similar to last year's inaugural GM Style event, the invitation-only affair featured the world debut of GM global concept and production cars, as well as favorites revealed during 2007. All the GM Style showcase vehicles will be introduced - fashion runway style - to live music. The event was held in Detroit on Saturday, January 12, 2008 in a football field-size, climate-controlled pavilion/tent on the Detroit River, just east of GM's Renaissance Center Global Headquarters.
