Model Moment: Fashion takes double

Fashion is in a constant search for fresh faces. This time they are on the prowl for the twin factor. Identical twins, especially, look so strong together they have a certain mysterious factor in their eyes and expression. Elite’s model twins Elena and Manuela Lazic have proven this right in their editorials together. Both of them were discovered after winning 3rd place at the Elite model Look France together last year.

Another pair to watch is Gwen and Donna Loos at WW Models. They may not be exactly identical, thus explaining their different portfolios so far. Gwen already walked for Nina Ricci and Chanel, appearing in a lacoste editorial and the Philosophy Resort 2010 lookbook. However both of them are equally cute and fresh-faced, looking a little like hybrids of Caroline Trentini and Sophie Srej.

What I wonder about is that while twin models are really interesting, what are their selling points that will make their career take flight? Or what factor determines the success of one, or the fall of the other? No one knows, for sure, perhaps it is as unpredictable as what’s in and what’s out.

  2. Gwen and Donna Loos are gorgeous. I had never seen them before this post. They have a very bohemian/hippie vibe about them. Great feature! :)

  8. Well, fashion without a leather seems hollow in ladies dressing. Nowadays ladies leather jackets are getting more interests.
