Proyecto Hermanas

Proyecto Hermanas poses a question that challenges tradition and respects it all the same, and in doing so establishes these sisters' legacy by means of a new path of work and creation. This is two sisters' search for a style of their own and the fulfillment of creating a common project that brings distant lands together.

For them, it is an opportunity to miss each other less, to laugh in the face of their differences and join forces with nature. And while there may not have been a precise reason for creating this project, a desire for shared adventures is as evident as the ever-present need for shaking things up.
