In a world where size inclusivity in fashion is often treated as an afterthought, Jentè Carter is rewriting the narrative this time, with a denim-covered fairytale. On June 21, 2025, the celebrated plus-size designer and visionary behind Denim by Jentè hosted the Denim in Wonderland Fashion Gala, a luxurious and empowering evening that blended fashion, fantasy, and unapologetic confidence.

Held at the Upscale Events Center in Dallas, Texas, the event was more than just a runway show, it was a bold statement. With whimsical décor, live entertainment, and a carefully curated lineup of bold, curve-celebrating designs, Denim in Wonderland transported attendees to a dreamlike dimension where beauty had no size limit.

“This wasn’t just about denim. It was about self-love, liberation, and walking in your truth,” said Carter. “I created this gala for the girls who have been told they were ‘too much’ for the fashion world—for the women who want to feel powerful, sexy, and seen.”

The evening featured Carter’s newest collection: a mix of edgy denim pieces, structured silhouettes, and soft feminine details, paying tribute to the duality of strength and softness in every woman. Models of all shapes and shades stormed the runway with poise and pride, reminding the audience that representation is not a trend—it’s a necessity.

In addition to the fashion show, the gala served as a platform for community and visibility.

The guest list included tastemakers, influencers, designers, and women of power who stood in support of Carter’s vision. VIP swag bags, a denim-inspired photo activation, and a panel discussion on body positivity and fashion inclusion rounded out the experience.

As Denim in Wonderland came to a close, one thing was clear that Jentè Carter is not just creating fashion. She’s creating a movement.
