Kiana Bonollo

Kiana Bonollo is currently a junior at NC State University working towards a B.S. in Fashion and Textile Design and a minor in Entrepreneurship. She has been working as a professional tailor for a year and has loved fashion since she was a child. Her first experience in the fashion industry was actually notwith design, but with modeling. During high school she modeled for multiple fashion shows and fell in love with the experience and vowed to one day return to these shows as a designer.

Over the past two years, Kiana has presented three collections at six different fashion shows. She was awarded first place at the NC State AATS Fashion Exposé two years in a row, first in the novice category and then in the advanced category. Her design aesthetic is edgy, but feminine and tailored. Kiana is extremely thankful and excited for the opportunity to show her fourth collection at Twin City Fashion Week.
