What is the best thing that we love about our work? Definitely to see the development from a sketch on paper to an wearable piece of clothing.
What is our idea of perfect happiness? Health, family and friends.
What is our greatest fear? An incurable illness and that associated suffer.
What is the trait that we most deplore in ourselves? Probably that we are not very happy when we are with too many people. Often we are then the main attraction. We don´t really like to be in focus. Recently we had a family meeting in Portugal with over 30 people. That was horrible (laughs).
Which living persons in our profession do we most admire? Karl Lagerfeld and Rick Owens. Both are legends. Unfortunately we don´t know Karl personally yet.
Rick is a very nice and funny person. His wife Michele [Lamy] and he are always good for a joke (laughs).
What is our greatest extravagance? Probably that we are twins. We are always and everywhere the attraction. That´s curse and blessing in one. Just recently, a French filmmaker wanted to have us in his movie playing the main role. Without any knowledge of acting. On bad days, people which we don´t know, ask us for pictures and hugs several times a day. There are also people who just want to tell us their life story. A good thing is, sometimes, even famous people belong to them. But we don´t want to say any names.
On what occasion would we lie? Usually we don´t lie, but if we don´t want to hurt someone a small lie is okay.
What is the thing that we dislike the most in our work? Maybe that travel part!
When and where were we the happiest, in our work? That´s difficult, we are usually always happy. Most likely 2013 when we had our fashion design graduation. This graduation has opened the world for us, to what we really love.
If we could, what would we change about ourselves? That´s an interesting question. We are perfect (laughs).
What is our greatest achievement in work? That we like and love what we do.
What do the words “The Financial Freedom to Create” mean to us? Money is not everything…
Where would we most like to live? This is a very difficult question. We have lived already in so many cities. Munich, Berlin, Dublin, Rom and many more. All these cities have something beautiful. But probably Paris where we live now.
What is our most treasured possession? It´s too expensiv to tell (laughs).
What is our most marked characteristic? That we are identical twins and the hair style.
What is our most inspirational location, in our city? Jardin des Tuileries and Jardin du Palais Royal. There we feel free.
What is our favorite place to eat and drink, in our city? We both go very rarely alone to a restaurant. We would rather eat at home. Only there we have our peace. If we go to a restaurant then with friends and they usually choose it.
What books influenced our life and how? We don´t have books that influenced us. We have only magazines like Vogue. Because of Vogue we startet to get interest in fashion.
You Only Die Once. What music would we listen on our last dayOn our last day we would not hear any music. We would spend time with our family.
Who is our hero or heroine in fiction? We choose Jack Sparrow. Johnny Depp is an amazing actor.
Who are our heroes and heroines in real life? Parents and my twin brother.
Which movie would we recommend to see once in a lifetime? Rain Man with Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise. Hoffman plays incredibly well an autistic.
What role plays art in our life and work? Art is our life! Everything we do is a form of creation.
Who is our greatest fan, sponsor, partner in crime? Definitely my brother. We make almost everything together. In 26 years the longest time we were separated was 8 hours. We practically stick together (laughs).
Whom would we like to work with in 2017? With great creative people as the years before.
Which people in our profession would we love to meet in 2017? Monsieur Karl!
What project, in 2017, are we looking forward to work on? To collaborate with great people.
Where can you see us or our work in 2017? On Facebook and past creations from various fashion brands.
What do the words “Passion Never Retires” mean to us? As long as you love what you do and you stay tuned nothing can stop a passion. No matter how old you are. Best example is Karl Lagerfeld who still loves what he does with over 80. That´s very impressive.
Which creative heroes should Peter invite to tell their story?
Everyone has a interesting story to tell! So it would be not right to name only one person.
