Fashion has always been a vital aspect of human culture and society. It is a form of self-expression, a reflection of our individuality, and a means of showcasing our creativity. From the earliest civilizations to the modern era, fashion has played a significant role in defining and shaping our identities. It has the power to evoke emotions, convey messages, and even influence social norms. Fashion is not just about clothing, but it encompasses a whole range of elements, including makeup, accessories, and hairstyles. In this issue we dive deep into the story of the Clements Twins, two young fashion prodigies, who are a testament to the importance of fashion and its impact on our lives.
Leah and Ava Clements are two of the most recognizable child models in the world. Since they were little, they have been gracing the pages of magazines, walking the runway for top brands, and collaborating with some of the most recognized companies in the world. They were even dubbed “The Most Beautiful Twins in the World.” Now at the age of 13, the girls have accomplished so much more than just modeling. They have been featured in various magazines, worked with top brands, and even recently designed their own clothing line, KAVEAH.
When we last spoke with them at the age of 7 1/2, the girls were already making waves in the fashion industry. Since then, they have achieved so much more.These talented twins have worked with some of the most recognized brands in the world, including American Girl, Claires, Skechers, Old Navy, Nike, Disney, Hurley, and Mattel. They have also appeared on several magazine covers, including KidFash, Harpers Bazaar Brazil, and Vanity Fair Italia.
Their journey has not only been limited to modeling, but they have also done multiple segments for Germany's Prime Time Networks and raised awareness for Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) on Good Morning La La Land. They are also passionate about supporting the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, DKMS, and CureSMA, a charity that they advocate for since their cousin Shane was diagnosed with the condition.
The Clements Twins are not just models, but also intelligent and hard-working students who have recently finished seventh grade and are going into eighth grade. Both Ava’s and Leah’s favorite subject is history, where they get to work on group projects with their friends. They both excel in math, but struggle with science (even though they find it interesting) because it’s a very heavy workload, with lots of information to learn and remember.
These twins really are best friends. Apart from modeling together, and having the same favorite subjects in school, they also have similar hobbies. Leah and Ava both love playing volleyball and swimming for their dad's new swim club, SOCA. Their passion for fashion and design led them to create their own clothing line, KAVEAH, which focuses on comfortable, stylish pieces for tweens. The line has been a huge success, and the girls have been thrilled to see tweens wearing their designs.
When it comes to fashion, Leah and Ava have their own unique styles. Leah loves comfortable clothes that are cute, while Ava likes to set her own trends while still keeping up with current styles. They both agree that fashion should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their budget, and that people can mix and match simple, comfy pieces to create their own look. Leah says, “Right now I like more of the plain tighter crop tanks and baggy sweatpants or cargo bottoms. I also love a good oversized sweatshirt with biker shorts.” Ava says, “I love cropped tanks and tshirts too with a cute pair of jeans or jean shorts. I’m also into super soft matching sets which we have been designing the past few weeks for our fall KAVEAH drop.”
Leah and Ava's rise to fame has been meteoric, and they have inspired countless other young girls to follow in their footsteps. However, they also recognize the importance of giving back and using their platform to help others. They advocate for CureSMA, a charity that is close to their hearts since their cousin Shane was diagnosed with the condition. They encourage all parents to get their newborns genetically tested to avoid the issues that their cousin has had to endure that could have been avoided with early testing. They also support the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society since their dad went through T-cell, acute lymphoblastic, lymphoma, and leukemia. Finally, they support DKMS and encourage everybody to get swabbed and become a potential Bone Marrow or Stem Cell Donor for someone in need.
Apart from their charity work, Leah and Ava have also been busy with their modeling and ambassador work. They are currently tween ambassadors for Janie and Jack, Mona Lisa, and Cotton On Kids. They work with other brands as well from time to time.
Leah and Ava's life goals and dreams are still evolving, but for now, they hope to continue to inspire others to pursue their passions and dreams, both in fashion and beyond. They are excited to see where their journey takes them, but they know that they will always remain true to themselves and their values. With their talent, hard work, and kind hearts, there is no doubt that Leah and Ava Clements will continue to make a positive impact on the world.
