DOMINIQUE ANSARI, An Independent Designer
Dominique specializes in dress making, with a variety of collections including her seasonal RTW lines, couture gowns, recycled line, and a swimwear line. At the Wonderland benefit fashion show she’ll be showing her Holiday Gown Collection entitled “Obsured Enchantment”.

Jenn turned to making bowties as a way to express her creativity and soon left the corporate world behind. Intwined embodies Jenn’s love for textiles, vintage inspirations, crafts, and fashion.

SARAH GONSALVES, Josephine Resort
Josephine Resort by Sarah Gonsalves is a collection of fun, flirty and flattering cocktail dresses; designed with tropical destinations in mind.

TARA KITAMI, Kitami Ropa*
A child of the 80s, Tara adored the looks of Madonna, George Michael, She-Ra, Jem, and Pretty in Pink. Since graduating from the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising, she has enjoyed a successful career in fashion; making people feel gorgeous while remaining original. Tara’s collection Kitami Ropa is a woman’s line catering to the true modern vintage goddess; styling new and current pieces with timeless classics to create the ultimate unique look.

*Tara Kitami of “Kitami Ropa” and Jenn Lui of “Intwined” have teamed up to create the “Retro, Glam, Rock” collection for the ‘Wonderland’ benefit fashion show. The inspiration was drawn from the crisp fresh feel of the winter season and all its luxurious fabrications and colors. Lace, Silk, Sequin, Fur, Reds, Blues, Greens and Purples all played a part in birthing this collection. The accessories by Intwined are all one of a kind. Jenn Lui of Intwined designed gorgeous head pieces made from chains, veils, vintage fabrics and buttons.
