There's an Amazing Twinning Thing Happening on the Street Style Beauty Scene
No, you're not seeing double. The buddy system has blossomed into a street style phenomenon this fashion month, with identical sets of platinum braids and glassy blowouts turning Phil Oh’s sartorial snaps into mirror images of the season’s best beauty statements.
It started in New York, where models-of-the-moment Radhika Nair and Adesuwa Aighewi posed in matching slicked-back styles as they skipped between fittings, and twin fashion bloggers Reese and Molly Blutstein coordinated their chin-length cuts with a shared palette of burnt orange staples. In London, models Roza P and Lily Nova smiled as they sipped Fiji water bottles in tandem, still showcasing the duplicate bow-tied braids from Simone Rocha’s romantic runway presentation.
The stylish-sibling movement picked up speed in Milan, captured in the finger-combed blonde waves of brother-sister model duo Lucky Blue Smith and Pyper America en route to shows. But perhaps noone topped the head swiveling impact of Japanese pop duo (and actual twins) Ami and Aya Suzuki, who packed a bubblegum pink punch, their electric fuchsia bobs, ruby lips and winged eyeliner coupled over chromatic fur coats and plush scarves in Paris. With three more days of shows on the docket, what better case could be made for leaning into the drama of double-trouble?
