Tony Gomez is the owner of Twins Pleating & Smocking, a Los Angeles studio specializing in artisanal pleating and smocking. A twin and the eldest of four children to Mexican immigrant parents, Tony grew up in Pico Rivera, California, in a bustling household that often held more than 20 relatives under one roof. While surrounded by the challenges of a working-class neighborhood, he chose early on to focus on education as his path forward. In 2002, Tony and his twin brother became the first in their family to attend a major university. Tony earned his degree in Law & Society from the University of California, Santa Barbara, and later pursued advanced Hispanic studies at Universidad Complutense de Madrid, where he developed a love for travel, fútbol, and global culture. His original plan was to pursue an MBA, but life took a different turn when he stepped in to help his father, who had founded Twins Pleating & Smocking in 1995. At that time, the business was on the brink of collapse with only a few thousand dollars left. Together with his family, Tony rallied resources, borrowed money, and worked tirelessly to keep the company alive. Drawing on his leadership experience from his fraternity years and marketing coursework at UCSB and UCLA Extension, Tony helped rebuild the business alongside his father. Over time, Twins Pleating & Smocking grew into a trusted studio that now collaborates with world-renowned designers, luxury fashion houses, and Hollywood costume teams. From Met Gala looks and red carpet premieres to blockbuster films, the studio has become a hidden force behind some of fashion’s most iconic moments. Today, Tony is committed to preserving the art of pleating and smocking while carrying forward his father’s legacy. He is passionate about slow fashion and sustainability, advocating for integrity and craftsmanship in an industry often driven by fast trends. Looking ahead, Tony’s goal is to expand the reach of Twins Pleating & Smocking, continue innovating with textile design, and share his journey to inspire other entrepreneurs who are navigating the challenges of building something lasting.

Wayne Jones is a father, husband, former rugby player, and businessman whose life changed forever in October 2022 when a head injury revealed an aggressive, near-terminal form of vasculitis. Once a gym instructor and corporate leader, he went from peak fitness to fighting for survival overnight. Determined not to let the disease define him, Wayne has become a global advocate for rare disease awareness, building platforms like Shoulder-Shoulder to provide community, resources, and families hope. His AI-powered app — using the power of rugby — aims to revolutionise the world of mental fitness. Not done there he intends to divert his focus on a second app, using the same concept, and inspired by his own symptom-tracking system - that will cut diagnosis times and improve patient care worldwide. Today, Wayne shares his story through public speaking, podcasts, and campaigns, fighting not just for patients, but for the families and carers who walk this journey alongside them.
