Tina O of Beverly Hills is truly a host of contradictions, born and raised in the USA. She is all American, but spiritually from some cosmic galaxy in outer space. She grew up in Las Vegas during the 1960's in the Rat Pack Era, when women always wore a dress after 5PM. She moved to Minneapolis where she was doing the skyways and runways for the fashion houses of Dayton's, Young Quinllin and Marshall Fields of Chicago. She lived for a while in DC, London, Paris, the Upper East Side of NYC and on the dance floor. She is an Interior designer by career, a fashionista by birth, an artist, a model, and a consumer of fine things.

Tina O says, "WannaWear comes from all of the parties and closets I have loved and lived in, then and now." She has been to Tijuana for a BBQ and has had Breakfast at Tiffany's. Finding her footing in Chanel, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, and Prada, she was mostly influenced by Givenchy, Geoffrey Beene, Ceil Chapman, YSL and she adores vintage everything! Tina O now is where she belongs. She lives, loves and creates in Beverly Hills!

WannaWear by Tina O re-conveys dresses that emit class and surround the body with emphasis of the natural curves of a woman's figure, whilst adding a quirky accessory. Tina O's dresses are a throw back to a time honored by silhouettes reincarnated that have come before us and are reinvented and reproduced by WannaWear. All are within the reach of every woman's pocket book. Tina O believes all women are beautiful and should dress to express.
