Say goodbye to the Olsen twins– and hello to these sibling pairs, who are bringing their own unique vision to the world of African-influenced fashion.
You may not know their names yet, but it won’t be long until you do, because these young people are talented and creative. They are twins, of African descent, bloggers for the most part, and they are part of a group of “elite influencers” who are blazing a trail in fashion.
Twins have always fascinated most people — and the Internet is no exception. Thanks to this inherent power, these twins have managed to make a name for themselves, acquiring incredible amounts of followers. Praised by acclaimed publishers such as Vogue and The Coveteur for some. Approached by brands such as Diesel, Adidas and And Other Stories for others. Collaborations continue raining down for these stylish doubles. However, we must not forget the point: these young people represent our generation. One that is proud of its cultural heritage, proud to be ebony, proud of their curly hair, proud of our style of clothes. Below are some very inspiring and inspired representatives of this “Afro-cosmopolitan” generation for you to discover and follow!
The Quann sisters

The Quann sisters are American and live in New York. Cipriana is the co-founder of the celebrated lifestyle blog “Urban Bush Babes” which, among other topics, celebrates the beauty of natural hair. Takenya, aka TK Wonder, is an electronic music artist. Their sense of style and their outrageous beauty have seduced many, judging by the number of brands that are fighting over them. Between advertising campaigns for the Gap, And Other Stories (a subsidiary of H&M), and interviews for Vogue, The New York Times, Refinery 29, as well as The Coveteur, I think we haven’t heard the last of them.

They are known thanks to their blog of the same name, on which they share their pictures of South Africa as they see it and live it. An authentic portrait, imbued with the creativity of youth, that offers another image of this complex country.
Spotted by Diesel, the twins were involved in the advertising campaign for the launch of the collection “Edun X Diesel,” to promote talented Africans and fashion that is made in Africa. With their strong reputation, they were also able to showcase their work at an exhibition in Tokyo. I had the good fortune to interview the brothers and I can report that they’re not only super cute — they’re also very humble.

Their sense of style and photography are beloved by various brands. In fact, the Durimel brothers have had numerous collaborations with Levi’s as well as Etudes studio, and magazines such as Pause Magazine, GQ and Pop Eye Magazine.
