Hi, meet Joe and Duke, 8 year old identical twins and two of the sweetest, most adorable kids on earth! When they’re not busy learning how to read or tie their shoes or whatever it is 8 year olds do, Joe and Duke spend their time chillin’ at the George and Dragon pub in east London, necking shots of apple juice and just generally being cool. They’re also budding fashion icons. To date they’ve been in a Stella McCartney GapKids campaign, were photographed by Nick Knight as part of his 100 Portraits series for the 30th anniversary of i-D, and were recently shot by Mert and Marcus for Love. Whoa, imagine where they’ll be when they reach the double digits. Probably editing Vice Style.
Joe and Duke’s parents are the amazing Pippa Brooks and Nathaniel Lee Jones, who together run M.Goldstein, a small shop/showroom in east London which sells punk art, antiques, human skulls and lots of other weird and amazing stuff. In the 90s Pippa co-ran the legendary, cult Soho boutique, Shop. She’s also a former Playboy bunny. Their family makes mine and your families look lame in comparison.
Joe: It’s wrong, because everyone is allowed to have their own style. And because it’s mean. And because other people don’t decide how you look.
So true. Does anyone at your school ever get made fun of because of what they wear?Joe: I do sometimes.
What do you say back?Joe: Normally I say I don’t care, because it took me a long time to pick out this outfit!
What can you tell about a person by the clothes they wear?Why not? You’re the same size.Joe: Actually, he’s bigger. He’s one minute bigger.Who is the best dressed person in the world?Joe: Me!
Duke: No, not you Joe! Sometimes I like Lady Gaga’s clothes.
Do you like what your mom wears?Joe: Sometimes. I like it when she wears dresses. Sometimes we give her fashion advice, but she never listens.
Joe: I might want to be a DJ. Or a fashion designer.
If you were a fashion designer, what would you make?Joe: Jeans probably.
Good choice.
