We Are YOUNG! [Peter and Harry Brant]




Fashion has long been a conduit for launching the "careers" of rich, celebrity offspring, particularly when they come in pairs and are attractive. Think Paris and Nicky Hilton, Kendall and Kylie Jenner or for a more elusive example, Elizabeth and Georgia Jagger. Enter a new dynamic duo with an illustrious and well bank-rolled lineage: Peter and Harry Brant are the progeny of art collector and publishing legend Peter Brant I and 90's era super model Stephanie Seymour. The pretty pair is often spotted at art and fashion events several nights of the week, rarely ever missing a photo op, with the grand exception of the MET Ball; "complications" arose with their invites. MET Ball aside, the boys are the new "it" couple; they have been profiled in Vanity Fair, The New York Times and most recently Interview. It's hardly a surprise considering their parents' fashion connections; Azzedine Alaïa gave Seymour away, and Naomi Campbell was the maid of honor at the super model and publishing tycoon's nuptials. Peter Brant Sr. also happens to own Interview Magazine.


Naturally, these boys have amazing style. Harry has a proclivity for women's clothes due to his lithe frame and favors clean lines with a little bit of crazy. Peter's style is more buttoned up and polished. 


Both are enrolled in school: the 19-year-old Peter Brant II is studying Art History at Hunter College, and 16-year-old  Harry attends Rye Country Day School, but their lives are far from normal. Harry exchanges late night text messages with bestie Courtney Love. Sure the Brants bicker [playfully] about what the other is wearing and even watch Gossip Girl, but they are also completely out of touch with the world outside of their super wealthy enclave. Harry admits to having a "love of opulence," and one of Peter's favorite quotes reads, "Finding wealth an intolerable burden is the mark of an unstable mind." Peter supports the fight against cancer, but only because he's so enraptured with his own head of luscious locks that he doesn't want anyone to endure the cruelty of hair loss.


 As for professional endeavors, Peter counts himself as a "Designer, Art Collector, Socialite, and Model," while the younger Harry recently tweeted, "From now on when people ask me what I 'do' I'm just gonna say ICON." Must be nice.
