Sisterhood  The 5 most influencial couples of sisters in fashion nowadays

If once the favourite accessory of the young stars on the red carpet was a clutch, or a chihuahua for the most daring ones, nowadays we are assisting to a new fashion phenomenon: sisterhood.

Everything started with the Olsen twins in the 90s: every little girl in every corner of the world started to dream she had a sister, better if a twin one, with whom to share adventures and misfortunes of every kind. In the meantime the two American blondies have grown up, they had a brilliant career and now they've left the space to a new generation of trend-setter sisters.

The latest one to pay homage to the phenomenon has been Olivier Rousteing, who reunited three very glamour couples of sisters for Balmain AW15 campaign: Gigi and Bella Hadid, Joan and Erika Smalls, Kendall and Kylie Jenner.

From cinema to fashion, from music to reality-shows, we analyze the 5 couples of sisters which lay down the rules in 2015.

 

#1 The Olsen twins

In this list we couldn’t ignore the founders of the movement: Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. Born in Los Angeles in 1986, they started playing at the age of only six months and since that moment they've never stopped being under the spotlight. The played in numerous movies about adolescence focused on their likeness and when they grew up they left the big screen to dedicate to fashion. Nowadays they are the designers of a successful brand: The Row, for which they have been awarded Womenswear Designer of the Year from the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) in 2015.

 

#2 Elle and Dakota Fanning

Elle and Dakota Fanning are the most promising adolescent sisters of cinema nowadays. Dakota was born in 1994 but she has already played in more than 50 movies between cinema and tv.

Rich and beautiful since they were born, they grew up in the posh neighbour of Belgravia in London until Sarah Doukas, founder of Storm agency in London, launched them on the international runways. Cara has become an international icon, she turned the rules of fashion upside down with her grimaces and her lesbian relationships, she's an insta-queen and she recently made her debut in cinema, her true vocation.
