Denim in Wonderland Fashion Gala Blazes a Bold Trail for Plus-Size Couture in Dallas

The fashion scene just outside the city limits of Dallas lit up with unapologetic flair and radical self-love as the Denim in Wonderland Fashion Gala took center stage at Unique Visions Upscale Events on June 21. Hosted by fashion media maven and body positivity advocate Bree Moore, the immersive evening proved that couture and curves can co-exist—loudly, proudly, and with endless fringe.

Presented by Dallas-native and visionary designer Jente Carter, founder of Denim by Jente, the gala was far from your typical runway affair. Drawing inspiration from fantasy and storytelling, the show transformed a gorgeous white venue with billowing drapes into a dreamscape where edgy denim, floral embellishments, and whimsical accessories met high fashion in Wonderland.

Jente’s newest collection brought plus-size fashion to life in ways rarely seen on mainstream catwalks—each look tailored and constructed to accentuate, celebrate, and empower curvy bodies. Think hand-placed fringe, bold floral appliqués, corseted denim gowns, and custom pieces that were more than just outfits—they were declarations of presence.

From statement-making denim coats to fantastical separates that shimmered under the venue’s soft white glow, the designs spoke to a growing movement of fashion freedom—where inclusion isn’t just a buzzword, but a lived reality. Couture accessories and imaginative layering added a sense of high-fashion storytelling, making each model’s strut down the runway feel like a chapter from a fierce fairytale.

What makes Jente Carter’s voice in fashion stand out isn’t just the craftsmanship—it’s the cause. Fueled by personal resilience and a mission to fill the gaps in plus-size style, Carter’s collection challenged every outdated industry standard. Her work is rooted in lived experience and a deep desire to see curvy women feel seen, sexy, and stylish in every room they enter.

With a show-stopping blue carpet and an audience full of fashion-forward tastemakers, influencers, and supporters of size diversity, Denim in Wonderland was more than just a fashion show—it was a celebration of beauty in all forms.
