Shanna & Elissa

BIO

Shanna Nicole and Elissa Aimee have been immersed in fashion from birth. The girls were always immaculately dressed.  Raiding mom’s Gucci shoes (that were worn with Levi’s and Nik Nik shirts), dresses and bathing suits purchased from only the finest shops on Worth Ave and their grandmother’s closet that was filled with gowns from Mary McFadden, Dior, Michael Volbrath and more.

 

After studying English and British literature at Florida State University, Shanna Nicole and Elissa Aimee took the plunge and moved to New York City. They landed jobs with a PR Agency and quickly learned the ins and outs of the Big Apple working with the crème de la crème of the fashion and entertainment industry.

 

Styling comes easily for Shanna Nicole and Elissa Aimee who are always put together in whatever they throw on. Wanting to round out their experience the other side of fashion they left New York to go back to their roots in Palm Beach to work closely with head designer/owner of the well known mens luxury swim line, Strong Boalt. After learning of the designing, production, and manufacturing of style they headed back to mecca, NY.

 

Always on the lookout for new designers this duo does their homework for every client and knows what clients want even before they know exactly what they are looking for be it for a shoot, a campaign or event dress.

 

Shanna Nicole and Elissa Aimee are inspired by music idols such as Stevie Nicks, Steven Tyler and Bob Dylan. The girls are continually inspired by the everyday person walking the streets of NYC. And of course their grandmother and mothers closets.
