Casa de Campo Resort & Villas will host the inaugural Casa de Campo Fashion Week from June 4 to 8.
The first-of-its kind, multiday event will transform the resort into a stage for fashion, art and wellness.
The event looks to solidify the Dominican Republic as a key hub in the Caribbean for fashion, health, wellness and art within the luxury industry. Dayanara Torres, the Puerto Rican actress, singer and former Miss Universe, will serve as the official brand ambassador.
The fashion week will feature a lineup of international and Dominican designers, including national designers Giannina Azar and the house of Jenny Polanco. Also featured are Maylé Vásquez, Gaby Alvarez, José Cristian Lagares, Rafael Rivero and Ana Rodman Pablo. Representing the U.S. are such designers as Luis Antonio from Puerto Rico, Fausto Altamirano of Baccio Couture (Miami), and Berny Martin of LeCatou (Indianapolis). From Spain, the program will highlight Spanish haute couture by the duo The 2nd Skin Co., with designer Custo Barcelona appearing as a special guest for the grand finale. Each designer will present about 15 looks.

“We are elevating the standard for fashion events in the Caribbean and throughout the world, by creating an event never before seen in this setting. Our vision is to deliver a guest experience that encompasses not only bringing together top international and local designers in the world of fashion, but to also provide educational sessions by leading antiaging and longevity doctors, celebrity makeup artists and hairstylists, skin care professions, and health and wellness experts that allow our guests an immersive four-day experience of fashion, health, wellness and hands-on educational seminars,” said Jason Kycek, senior vice president and chief marketing officer at Casa de Campo Resort & Villas.
In addition to the runway, the event will combine fashion with education, art and wellness through a series of breakout seminars and experiences. The four days include yoga and pilates, special designer and guest talks, exclusive pop-up shopping experiences, and an art exhibition.
Guests can purchase a three-day all-include package, and local guests can purchase tickets for the runway shows and special activities.
