The Twins
The Hosts and Creators of Blossom Nite
Claire Vastola didn’t start her fashion career until later in life, graduating from FIT in her thirties. Early on, she realized how challenging it was to meet new people and build a network in an industry where connections are everything. She began to wonder, how she could bridge this networking gap.
Her sister, Rose Vastola, the other half of Blossom Nite, had spent the past eight years working as a graphic designer and art director, specializing in branding and creative marketing. The two of them, with their unique blend of skills, set out to create something special. Rose brought her creative and artistic edge, while Claire contributed her fashion education, work experience and natural ability to connect with people.
Both sisters have roots in NYC's music scene, where they spent time as musicians before transitioning into fashion and art. What began as a DJ night, Blossom Nite, has since evolved into a fresh and dynamic approach to networking.
They imagined a space where careers could “blossom,” where new connections could be seeded, and where a community could grow together. The concept of a garden—a place of growth, collaboration, and mutual support—became the heart of Blossom Nite.
