Dominicana Moda is being held at Santo Domingo's Hotel Occidental Embajador from 18-23 October. This year, Oscar de la Renta is the special guest fashion designer, and he will stage the closing show. Some 45 national and international designers will be participating in the annual event. Coming from abroad are Tirso Rubio of Honduras and Dominican Rogelio Velasco, a graduate of Altos de Chavon design school whose Velasco Couture atelier specializes in outfits for celebrities and US high society. The organizers are Mirka Morales, Socrates McKinney, Fidel Lopez and Ventura Lopez, representing the hotel. The contest has served to launch many innovative designers and new models, and showcases the latest design trends to the Dominican public. It also makes a difference - Dominicana Moda has donated RD$60 million to 30 charitable organizations. Well-known designers taking part this year are Leonel Lirio, Jackeline Then, Belkola, Moises Quezada, Larissa Salcedo, and Giannina Azar. The newcomers include Carlos Frank Then, Wendy Luzon, Oriet Domenech and Juan Cotes.
