Seeing Double at Chanel

At Paris Fashion Week, while I was outside of the Chanel SS/2012 show I was introduced to Sama and Haya Abu Khadra. The identical twins are 18-year-old sisters who are quickly becoming recognizable faces on sartorial blogs and fashion week front rows alike. Daughters of Rula Abu Khadra, founder of "The Art of Living" lifestyle boutique in Saudi Arabia, the girls currently live in Dubai.


They began generating buzz when they started buying for their mom’s store at international fashion weeks in 2008 at the young age of 15. Haya and Sama caused a fashion-blogger-frenzy when they showed up at events this year. With their beautiful cascading curls, model-like figures and, creative style choices, combining designer choices with colorful vintage picks, the two are definitely a show-stopping site.

Not only do the twins forecast trends for The Art of Living, they also occasionally hit the catwalks themselves. In 2009, they were personally invited to model for the Sonia Rykiel Spring collection in Dubai.

At such a young age, these girls are the image of stylish fashionistas, classy and sophisticated. There are definitely two stylish twins to keep an eye on for trend setting styles.

Celebrities at Dior - Paris Fashion Week

Today I went to the Dior show to photograph the celebrities! Hundreds of people came out to Dior hoping to either attend the show or get a glimpse of someone famous. After fighting my way to the front of the paparazzi, I was able to get some great shots!

I saw Anna Wintour and Grace Coddington fom Vogue.


I was very excited to see Leighton Meester from Gossip girl since this is one of my favorite shows!


Anna Dello Russo actually stopped to pose for a picture and starting laughing because she wanted to fix her hair before I took the photo.


Olivia Palermo from "The City," looked beautiful! She has the best style sense! After photographing her going into the show, I came across her walking down the street after the show! She was very kind and smiled as I called her name as she passed me by.


Bill Cunningham was there taking photos and was very pleased to pose for a picture for me. I don't think anyone else had recognized him! Bill is a well known fashion photographer for the New York Times!

Rachel Zoe was also at this show, but managed to sneak by me without getting a photo taken! Hopefully I will run into her at one of the other shows so I can get a shot!
