Elle and Dakota Fanning in US Vogue August 2011

I do not understand this whole sisters-celebrities-fashion icons phenomenon. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Penelope and Monica Cruz, Aly and AJ Michalka, Kylie and Dannii Minogue, Emily and Zooey Deschnel... And now we're getting Dakota and Elle Fanning. The new Hollywood sweethearts appear in the current issue of Vogue US, which - as it always does in August - celebrates women of all ages. In their case - of very young age - as Dakota is 17 and Elle is 13, which has not prevented her from scoring two Vogue editorials this year.


The interview opens with Elle's quote: "My look today is Virgin Suicides meets Twiggy! Right now I’m into a long, flowing, flower-power vibe." When I was her age I did not know anything about Twiggy and certainly I had a very vague idea of who virgins are. Seems like new teenage fashion victim to me.
