Our Empire couple in the official photo from the event NiMi Festival 2011 in Florence. We added a pair of new details, and still there's more to be done... A TB costume is never really finished...

Our outfits contain about 200 resin gems cast by us, and God-knows-how-many meters of trims, all custom dyed and altered. The beads, diamonds, Chinese knots and frogs on Radu’s outfit are also hand made. But we hope these costumes are not just a matter of numbers, but of style and design. We did our best to understand and follow Thores Shibamoto’s concept, with more than a hint of our personal taste of course.

Hail to TB!
