Carmella

Far from her home in Sicily, Carmella emigrated to the U.S. looking for a better life, and maybe a little fame and fortune, too, if God allows. She found her calling under the big top and the saloon stage, performing for crowds nightly as a lion tamer, a magician’s assistant, and a singer. Her signature one-piece dress is a playful mix of Wild West with flocked taffeta and chainette fringe, and Italian whimsy, thanks to its layered satin skirt. Carmella may be far from her old home, but she’s turning plenty of heads in her new one.
