Shannade Clermont and Shannon Clermont (pictured above)
Models and influencers, Los Angeles
How did you two start in fashion?
Shannon: When we first came to New York and were trying to get signed, it was a lot of “Your boobs are too big” or “You guys need to lose weight.” But then we shot with Terry Richardson. He had a real fascination with twins.
Do you two always dress alike?
Shannon: Yes, but mostly because we have the same clothes, so it’s not even on purpose.
Shannade: We actually do enjoy the same things.
Shannon: Our style is slightly different. Mine’s edgier, and Shannade’s is more preppy. That’s how you can tell us apart sometimes, like by a pair of glasses.

How did you pick your outfit?
Raul sent over some pieces from their last collection. They gave me a bomber jacket with this cool hood. Patti Wilson took a picture of me. It was insane. She was like, “You look amazing. It’s so great.” It could be she just loved the Luar, but I took it as, Patti Wilson took my picture.

Who are you here with?
My mom. She’s friends with the owner. We go to his house every year for Thanksgiving. He doesn’t do the cooking, though. But he pulls my hair all the time. The show was wild. I loved the hair when it was all up and in spikes. And I liked the big bags and the coats they had on.

Any good outfits?
Everyone was good. It was a big crowd — a seething, roaring mass of community and vibes. I did love my friend Moses’s outfit because it was just a full winter coat with boulder shoulders, and by the after-party, it was just fully boobs out, so that was great.

Who was there?
Got to chop it up with Gunna. I saw Flo Milli there. Who else? It was very star studded, but I feel like you get to a certain point in your career where these people have become your peers more so than a celebrity. So I see a bunch of people and it’s just like, Oh, okay, that’s cute, that’s cool.

How did this compare to past Luar shows?
I’ve actually been to every Luar show that’s ever happened. I’ve known Raul for over 12 years. He is a big sister, a big brother, but also a grandmother to me. He’s so granny. Like, we’ll go to the most insane event — everybody’s there, it’s the biggest night in the world. We’ll go and leave immediately.

Why’d you decide to come?
I’ve known Raul for years. We met at the gay club Escuelita a long time ago. I stood out — I used to wear these big glasses. Raul stood out too. We were drawn to each other. It was sort of like, Okay, wait. He’s Latino, I’m Latino. He’s in a look, I’m in a look. Are we battling each other?
