Carnaval de Santa Cruz is held every February in Tenerife and proves to be a huge tourist attraction for people all over the world.
It is considered the second most popular and internationally know carnival, the first being Rio de Janeiro (Brazil). For this reason, Santa Cruz de Tenerife is twinned with the city of Rio de Janeiro.
Each year the carnival is based on a theme, last years theme being ‘Bollywood’.
We are delighted with this years choice of theme ‘Cartoons’.
Fortunately six students from Fashion Industry Practice were chosen to gain work placement through Leonardo De Vinci mobility programme. We are assisting a designer by the name of Sante Castro in creating two beautifully extravagant costumes, which will be worn by the queens of the carnival.
We were amazed by Sante’s workshop and the absolute colossal scale of the costumes that are in the process of being made for 2014’s carnival.
Sante has won best designer for the last two years and hopes to be successful again this year.
