About the Business
Refusing to define herself as "designer", domini embraces a more practical approach to the creation of clothes. Her unique philosophy can be traced back to a phrase from a history of western civilization class: "great architecture is a perfect marriage of function and form." And so was born her job description "clothing architect" As opposed to drafting out a line 4 times a year, that would then be manufactured in volume and foisted upon the masses as "trendy", domini has built her career working entirely with individual clients -- incorporating their needs, their movement patterns, and their personalities in to their own custom-built wardrobes. Each garment builds upon the requirements of the patron's particular body/site. Once this foundation is in place, domini adds the art and beauty that expresses the essence of what is contained within the physical form. Of course, architects themselves have esthetic preferences that are evident across their collected works. Compare a Gaudi building to a Barnes. Each interprets nature in it's own way, through a study of branches, or of geometric shapes. In the same manner, clothing fashioned by Domini bear her unmistakable imprint. Domini's work has itself been highly influenced by Wantnabe, Issey Miyake, Calatrava, Gaudi, bauhaus architecture, and japanese tea gardens. Domini began her sewing career making herself dancewear that would allow her to transition from a punk rock teenager to ballet class without changing clothes. She continued on in this vein clothing the San Francisco Dance Centre and Lines ballet in studio gear that reflected the colorful and eclectic arts scene on the west coast. This small niche has expanded to include as many people as she finds interesting, and always seeking to expand her demographic. Her mission, simply stated, is to redefine fashion... to make it something that is truly an individual expression.... the structure that frames and supports you best - from grotto to watts towers, from street corner to opera house, and all the squatters , anarchists and yupsters in between.
