This month US Vogue announced the Olsen twins as the Best Dressed Women of 2011. Edgy and
reactive choices positioned them ahead of the fashion pack and confirmed their originality. This year the
sibling influence has never been more prominent and to recognise the force of
family connections, The Sloaney has compiled a list of the Top 5 Most Influential
British Siblings in Fashion.
Number 5
Savannah and Sienna Miller
Sienna and
Savannah Miller have long been the focus of the spotlight. However, with a
strong distaste for the paparazzi, Sienna is one of few to make a stand and took
legal action against photo agency Big Pictures. She credits this decision with
the heightened success of her acting career and an increased respect from high
society movers. Her sister also shies away from the social spotlight,
preferring a quiet life in the Gloucestershire countryside. Nevertheless, she
is the brains behind label Twenty8Twelve and an established influence in the
fashion world.
Number 4
Alex and Emma Watson
A similar
retreat from the spotlight has earned Emma Watson credit. The Harry Potter star
is now enrolled at Oxford University to complete
her degree. One of few women to have a striking and delicate enough bone
structure to carry off the shortest of crops, this actress has defied her age and
experience by making a number of highly admirable fashion choices. The star was
accompanied by her younger brother Alex in last year’s Burberry Campaign and
the pair make for a dynamic style duo.
Number 3
Pippa and Kate Middleton
This year
has been all about the Middletons. Kate Middleton became the Duchess of
Cambridge in a Royal Wedding that was celebrated by the nation. Her style has
been forensically observed and every detail analysed. With no obvious mistakes
and her innate ability to mix high end with high street fashion, Catherine has
pleased both the public and her critics more often than not. Pippa Middleton
has been more daring with her choices; that red dress with a plunging neckline
was hotter than our summer. Generally, both women earn praise for exhibiting
classic tailoring and herald the return of traditional elegance.
Number 2
Cara and Poppy Delevingne
More accustomed
to gracing the pages of Vogue than the daily press, the Delevigne sisters are stylish
high society movers. The daughters of model Pandora, Poppy and Cara have both
followed their mother into the industry and are on the books of Storm. They
have appeared in numerous editorial shoots in recent years. Poppy is also a
Chanel ambassador and quintessential British girl about town. A favourite of
the Burberry campaigns, younger sister Cara cemented her position as an
aspiring style icon when gracing the cover of the November issue of British Vogue.
Number 1
Lottie and Kate Moss
The number
one spot in The Sloaney’s Top 5 Most Influential British Siblings in Fashion celebrates
a remarkable career and an exciting future. Kate Moss is arguably one of the most
powerful style icons in history and the model is a key influencer of trends.
Needless to say, there was much excitement when her wedding heralded the
emergence of a mini Kate. At the tender age of 13, Kate’s half sister Lottie Moss
is currently being wrapped in cotton wool by Sarah Doukas - the agent who
discovered Kate. Lottie has already completed a series of shoots and we look to
the future with baited breath to see if she will emulate the remarkable career of
her elder half sister.
