THE DESIGNER

Kelsy Dominick

The Designer

Blending African American and Italian heritage, designer Kelsy Dominick Hall was raised in a household steeped in craftsmanship. From a young age, she was surrounded by the hum of sewing machines and the hands-on artistry of generations before her. She learned to sew at just nine years old—quickly advancing from simple pillowcases to custom dresses that reflect both skill and soul.

Kelsy’s deep appreciation for genuine, enduring craftsmanship can be traced directly to her ancestry, rooted in generations of entrepreneurs and artisans.

From her Italian lineage, Kelsy draws inspiration from her great aunt Bessy, a revered dressmaker in the heart of Belleville, New Jersey’s “Little Italy.” Aunt Bessy created bespoke gowns on a 1914 Singer machine—an heirloom that now sits proudly in Kelsy’s studio. Her legacy of precise detailing and devotion to perfection in every stitch continues to guide Dominick Hall’s design philosophy today.

On her African American side, Kelsy’s grandmother Lucille ran a successful reupholstery business while also sewing garments for her 11 children. This spirit of resourcefulness and creativity was passed down to Kelsy’s mother, and then to Kelsy herself—along with the irreplaceable knowledge of sewing by hand and machine.

At the heart of DiDomenico, Kelsy’s design house, is a mission: to preserve the art of craftsmanship in a world overwhelmed by mass production. Each custom piece is a celebration of individuality, cultural richness, and the idea that no single design—or story—should ever be the same.

Through her global travels, Kelsy continues to seek inspiration in the beauty of human difference. She now backpacks with her century-old Singer machine, documenting her journey and inviting the world into her creative process—one stitch, one story, and one dress at a time.
