Sisters' Business

Is it just me, or are the couples of sisters taking over fashion?
Seems that lately, more and more siblings have been hoarding covers, launching clothing lines, or modelling.

You don't believe it? Let's try to play a little family's association game...

First ones are:

These sisters launched on 2009 the first Twenty8Twelve collection. Sienna said about it "When you grow up together and share a life as each other's half until you leave home, it's inevitable, or was at least for us, that you share an appreciation of a similar aesthetic." Actually, on the brand website you can find a Working Together section, where you can read that Savannah made Sienna's first fancy dress costume at the age of eight, and also even see the pic.



Ok, so sisters with their own couture fashion label... that bring us to:

The Olsens are questionless fashion icons; not only being always regular in front rows or magazines (last one has been Vogue's Best Dressed issue) or for being ambassadors of the boho chic style. They've also had always an interest in creating fashion themselves. They started by creating a clothing line in Wal-Mart stores across North America for girls ages 4–14 as well as a beauty line. On 2007, the pair also started a new line for The Row (their own brand), entitled "Elizabeth & James", named after their siblings.

 
Bonus sister. Lizzie Olsen, last one to arrive. She's also an actress as well but she's already made a Nylon magazine cover; and everybody is now keeping an eye on her.



So we're talking about sisters that are actresses but also with a presence on fashion, even lately having appeared in a magazine cover... I know who's next:

We've already dedicated a post to these sisters. They're not only all over magazines, on covers or articles (W magazine has been the last one), but also are very close to the designers. Youngest one, Elle, is been in The Curve of Forgotten Things, Rodarte’s newest short and covered Love Magazine on her own. Her older sister, Dakota, with a longest career, has already appeared in more covers (Marie Claire, Dazed, Flare, V...) and has  Marc Jacobs campaigns, the last one for the Lola perfume.

And well, if you want to talk about someone who's made loads of campaigns...








The English model Moss has had campaigns with major Italian, French, American, and British designers; she has been featured in fashion spreads in most major fashion magazines; she has appeared in music videos, provided vocals for songs... And as our previous couples of sisters, Kate Moss has as well released several collections for Topshop and four fragrances. And lately, she married Jamie Hince on 1 July 2011. Spotted at her half-sister Kate’s wedding as a bridesmaid, 13 year old Charlotte “Lottie” Moss is said to want to follow her supermodel sisters footsteps.


 Let me see, British models with a younger sister following their steps... Yep, I know more of those:

They were influenced by the fashion industry from a very young age, thanks to their mother, head of sales section in British department store Selfridges. Poppy has taken hold of the New York scene, imposing its delicate and informal style. Socialité and blogger, she was named ambassador for Chanel and has starred in ad campaigns for brands such as Mango and Laura Ashley. At 18 years old and with a Burberry campaign and modelling for Asos already under her belt, Cara is set for big things. With her elder sister already an established model, her social circle is filled with the youngest, coolest rising stars.

Fine, more sisters modelling, here we go.

Georgia and Elizabeth share tastes and profession: both are reputed models which is not surprising considering that they are daughters of Jerry Hall and Mick Jagger. Both of them began at an early age his adventure in fashion, clearly demonstrating that it was the way they wanted to go. The earliest one was Elizabeth, who just at 14 years abandoned his studies to take this path that has led to stardom. Georgia repeated this pattern but she waited until 17 to become the face of Hudson Jeans. These girls are typical of the covers and advertising campaigns and two of the names that promises them further in this sector



Mom was a model and dad is a Rolling Stone? Wait, this sounds familiar:

 

Daughters of Keith Richards an Patti Hansen, actually, these sisters appeared on a Tommy Hilfiger campaign alongside with Elisabeth Jagger. Theodora has guest-edited one issue of L'Officiel, modeled for Karen Walker label, appeared on the cover of Lucire and became the model and muse for New York City premium denim collection 4Stroke Jeans. Alexandra's face has appeared in established magazines such as Vogue, Glamour, Vanity Fair, ID magazine, Harpers Bazaar...

And the list could go on and on... 

If you were there, beware

Any plan for Sunday?

Uschi Obermaier

She was born in 1946, near Munich.

They were times of the R.A.F. (Rote Armée Fraktion), leftist organization that moved to the German company with its attacks.

Many young people were looking for a different reality to that of bourgeois society and experimenting with alternative lifestyles, drugs and free sex.

Uschi Obermaier was part of the "Commune 1", first formed for political purposes in Germany. It was created in response to moral and sexual roles conservatives of those years. While Obermaier did not participate actively in politics,

she became part inadvertently in the revolutionary movement as an inspiring femininity unrelated to the classical roles of wife and mother.She was the first German Topmodel and a pop icon of 60's and 70's.

She fell in love with Rainer Langhans and moved to the Commune 1 in 1968.

There, the couple experienced the "sexual revolution".

They spoke openly about their relationship in the media, about jealousy and love freedom,

as they would later John Lennon and Yoko Onno.

Uschi posed naked and smoking pot,

fell in love with Jimmy Hendrix and went on tour with the Rolling Stones

(it is said that she had affairs with Keith Richards, Mick Jagger and Jimi Hendrix).

She tested all what was forbidden, lived life fully and enyojed

being the figurehead of the counterculture.

It was a feminist without being exploring their sexuality in a way never seen until then,

often as guinea pig in the social laboratory of the Commune,

which was finally abandoned again seeking freedom.

While she never was proposed to be famous, her naked in the "Commune 1"

filled the headlines of newspapers and magazines of the era.

She wasn't an intellectual, but participated in meetings in which it was intended to change the social order, but confesses to have fallen asleep many times.

He accompanied on his tours of the Rolling Stones,

took drugs, but did not become addicted.

With ease slides over the various scenarios of the social season without committing to none.

In 1973 he joined Dieter Bockhorn, who was the most important man in her life.

As he toured Asia, U.S. and Mexico for six years in a bus recycling.

They renewed their wedding vowels in every country they visited.

In 1984, Bockhorn died in Mexico in a motorcycle accident.

Uschi Obermaier is 60 years old now and lives in Topanga Canyon, near Los Angeles, California in his own house.

He works as a jewelry designer.

She doesn't have children and said that his wealth are only "friends, who are dispersed throughout the world".

There's a film based on Uschi's life...it is called Das Wilde Leben, with Natalia Avelon.

Here a leave you a song from the film, Summer Wine, which is amazing

(both, the video and the song).

The singers are Natalia Avelon herself and Ville Valo.
