February Is Carnivale

Who doesn't enjoy dressing up and having fun with friends?

Carnivale in Italy is a huge winter festival that usually happens in the middle of February. Different types of festivities are celebrated throughout the towns of Italy. You can either discover large parades with extravagant floats, music festivals or tons of parties.

This year we decided to dress up as... you guessed it. #twoshells

We had our own D.I.Y moment, using our knowledge of pattern making from school, we constructed two shells and two oversized pearls. Dressed in all black, we created the greatest costume ever!

Although, we had a rainy carnivale, #twoshells did not let it damp their plans. Nicola hosted a small gathering with a few of our close friends. Enjoyed some baked brownies and delicious martinis and played a round of Kings. The night ended with girls starting their own little dance floor in Nicola's living room, which made our night!

Don't forget the name #TWOSHELLS

Part 1: Doing What We Love

Usually you wake up in the morning dreading your day ahead but not us we love coming to this amazing place of creativity and learning. We start the day driving the 40 minute rural road up the mountain from Pozzallo to the city of Ragusa where our school is situated. Here we are taught by the ever so patient and supportive Lucia and her crazy but wonderful assistant Francesca. We learn the ancient art of tailoring and pattern drafting where we can see our designs come to life. And being the fashion designers in training that we are we decided to go for an all in black look letting our gold accessories and work speak for themselves.
