​What Domingo's Looking For
Female Models:

• Height: 5'8" and taller (because elegance has standards)

​Why This Matters (Beyond the Obvious)
As someone who's been in the fashion production game, you know that opportunities like this don't come around every day. Working with an established designer like Joseph Domingo isn't just about adding a credit to your portfolio – it's about being part of a vision, learning from someone who understands the craft, and gaining the kind of runway experience that opens doors.  Whether you're an aspiring model looking to break into the scene or an experienced talent wanting to expand your portfolio, this casting call offers something rare: the chance to work with a designer who respects both the art and the business of fashion.

The Bottom Line
Don't sleep on this opportunity. Fashion moves fast, and the best chances go to those who show up prepared and ready to work. This isn't about finding the next Instagram sensation – it's about finding models who can bring Joseph Domingo's sophisticated vision to life on one of the season's most anticipated runways.

​As we close the curtain on our spectacular Fashion Week event, we're thrilled to share that this marks just the beginning of DMR Productions' 20th anniversary celebration! What a journey it has been, and what a triumphant return to the runway after our COVID-related hiatus.

​The energy throughout the week was electric, with Sacramento's fashion community coming together to create something truly magical. From innovative designs to flawless execution, every element contributed to an unforgettable experience that has set the tone for our anniversary year.

The presentation of this event was more than just a show; it was the vibrant start to DMR Productions' 20th anniversary year. It's a story of resilience, as we had initially planned for this to be the 20th year of Fashion Week Sacramento. But life, as we know, has its own timeline, and the pandemic forced us to pause this event. DMR Productions continued through the years, switching up to online events and workshops, with the support of our dedicated community. So, this year's event was a deeply meaningful milestone for the production as a whole. A celebration of our ability to overcome challenges and a perfect launch into our milestone year. This wasn't just a finish line, but a starting point. It's a launchpad for the next chapter of DMR Productions, and we're incredibly excited to share what we have planned. We've set a high standard, and we're looking forward to seeing what the future holds.

Miami Nights 2024 was a spectacular celebration of fashion, entertainment, and community, all for a great cause—the L for Lupus Foundation. Hosted by the ever-stylish Shaline Jane, who wowed the crowd with multiple outfit changes from Article Consignment Boutique, the night was filled with excitement. Shaline even convinced co-host 95MIL to perform a few lines from his latest track, delighting the audience and igniting cheers.

The fashion show was undoubtedly the highlight of the night, kicking off with the bold and electrifying designs of Maya Leon. Known for her fearless use of color, Maya's collection was a visual feast, bursting with vibrant hues and dynamic patterns. Her striking silhouettes and daring cuts set the stage for an unforgettable night of fashion. Each piece in her collection reflected her adventurous spirit, capturing the crowd's attention and setting the tone for the evening. The audience responded with enthusiastic applause, fully immersed in the energy of her audacious designs.​

Following Maya’s lively showcase was Georgina Scott, whose collection brought a refined sense of elegance to the runway. Georgina is renowned for her custom-made dresses, designed to celebrate women of all sizes with a blend of sophistication and inclusivity. Her pieces exuded a timeless charm, from flowing evening gowns to more structured, contemporary designs. The attention to detail in her work was apparent, and her collection was praised for making every woman feel both confident and beautiful. A special highlight of the night was the premiere of Georgina’s sleepwear collection, which featured luxurious, comfortable pieces that maintained her signature focus on inclusivity. The soft, elegant sleepwear added another layer to her repertoire, showcasing her versatility as a designer.​

​Next, Tracey Benedict of Who Took That Pic Designs wowed the audience with her signature creativity, with the main highlight of her collection being her custom-made headpieces. These stunning creations featured intricate arrangements of flowers and feathers, both combined and individually showcased. Each headpiece was a unique work of art, blending natural elements with bold design choices. The craftsmanship and attention to detail in every piece added an air of elegance and fantasy to the runway, making Tracey’s collection one of the most memorable of the night.

Following the designer showcase, Article Consignment, owned by Abe & Valerie Sanchez, presented a heartfelt segment featuring the Lupus Warriors. Riley Hoffman, Seda Bryant, Lynnisha Richmond, Noelle Wanje, and Juanita Quininoez graced the runway with confidence, each styled and dressed by Article Consignment. Their presence added a deeply emotional and inspiring touch to the evening, celebrating their strength, resilience, and courage. This special presentation honored the Lupus Warriors, reminding everyone of the true purpose behind the event—supporting those affected by lupus.​

​Adding to the excitement, the Sac Unity Dancers, an all-female dance group, performed a captivating dance break during the designer lineup. Their choreography was on point, keeping the energy high and the pace of the night moving smoothly.  While guests enjoyed dinner, Tre Barrett treated everyone to a live painting, which revealed a striking portrait of Paula Abdul, a prominent advocate in the lupus community. Abdul has used her platform to raise awareness for lupus research, making the painting a meaningful tribute.

The night also featured a lively swimsuit parade, where models showcased swimsuits from their personal collections, each look expertly styled and coordinated by Nikisha Mitran. This playful and spontaneous segment brought a fresh, fun energy to the evening, as the models confidently strutted down the runway, adding a unique twist to the show. The personal touch in each outfit made this portion of the event both entertaining and memorable.​
