A Little Bit About a Lot of Things

Select Good Ones met up at Liquid Art House for an interactive interpretation on a traditional fashion show. Guests nibbled on light bites and sipped bubbly cocktails while mingling with designers and the models showcasing their designs.

Matteo Gemignani was born and raised in Tuscany, Italy. He co-founded Adora Bags with the intention of bringing the beauty and charm of Italian craftsmanship to the US, at a price point that is fair for all.

Liquid Art House provided gourmet popcorn – in both sweet and spicy varieties.

Dominique Quinque comes from the former East Germany where she grew up in Dessau, home of the famous Bauhaus style of design and architecture. Here Dominique developed a passion for art and design. Although she chose a career in science, a big part of her life remained dedicated to painting, carpentry and crafts. Dominique worked until 2012 as a researcher in a lab at Harvard Medical School but after 10 years in science she decided to go back to her artistic roots and enrolled as a student at the School of Fashion Design in Newbury Street. Here she learned a varied skill set that allows her to design, create patterns and construct garments she envisions. She likes to combine her artistic and scientific views to explore the essence of fabrics and the human form. By using unexpected techniques she aims to create garments that are subtle with moments of surprise. Dominique displayed her work as a chosen LAUNCH designer of Boston Fashion Week 2014.
