Dominique Fawn Hill is a costume designer (or in other abundant words) a fabric-composer
that merges an everlasting dance between
Texture, Image, and Purpose.
Her hometown Bronx, NY, instilled in her glam, grit, and the willingness to always
look at the world through an empathetic lens.
She finds the psychological nature of costume design invigorating and sublime.

We all wish to be understood
to belong
&
to ultimately leave our footprints on this earth.

Design Reviews
Dominique Fawn Hill’s costume design adds another layer of character development: Rabby’s loud Barney-purple ensemble, with its flouncy hat, for the church-loving gossip queen; Juicy’s gloomy all-black ensemble of overalls and a mesh shirt; Tio’s “Goosebumps” T-shirt and coral zebra-print button-down with acid-washed embroidered jeans; and one resplendent explosion of colorful fabrics and accessories that will catch audiences off-guard, in the best way, at the end of the show. -Maya Phillips

He is aided by excellent design, Dominique Fawn Hill's telling costumes (and one eye-popping transformation at the end that takes your breath away). -Raven Snook

Dominique Fawn Hill’s costumes accentuate the assertive individuality of several of the characters and, by inference, how their life choices and divergent paths have led to their growing apart. -Peter Marks
