Clermont Twins Interview
hannon and Shannade Clermont are the dynamic duo of the 21st century. With a conjoint Instagram account amassing 1.3 million followers, the identical twins hailing from Dallas, Georgia have got our attention. Blessed with ambitions too grand for their Southern roots, the sisters set out to New York City for university before being cast in a reality show that would change their lives, just as planned. Appearing in Bad Girls Club in 2015, the Clermont Twins had a very clear mission – to make a name for themselves. And that they did. Campaigns, covers, and catwalks all followed the two’s television stint, quickly building an exhaustive roster of accomplishments. That said, as impressive as it is, they are nowhere near done. In fact, Shannon proposes, “We’re just getting started.”
With degrees from Parsons and FIT, internships for labels such as Jovani and Saint Laurent, and heads of a ready-to-wear line of their very own, Shannon and Shannade’s experience behind the scenes proves just as commendable as their time in the spotlight. While modeling will always, of course, be a focus for the twins, design and business seem to take precedence at the moment. In our exclusive with Shannon, she reveals that the two are working on the release of eyewear under their brand, Mont Boudoir. “But no one knows about it,” she discloses.
If there is anything we’ve learned from history’s most prolific pairs, it’s that two is most often than not, better than one. From the gun-slinging, havoc-wreaking Bonnie and Clyde of the 1930s to the 2000s’ heiresses of pop culture, Paris and Nicole, it has been proven that there truly is no greater force than that of a dynamic duo and the Clermont Twins are no exception.

Picking up the phone from Los Angeles (where they’re now based) is Shannon Clermont, representing the two while her other half, Shannade, is away. Though only one is on the line, she swears by the pair’s twintuition. Check out our interview below featuring images from Issue 3 of Billy Magazine.

Hi Shannon! How’s it going? What are you up to in Los Angeles at the moment?
Hey! Currently working on the launch of a pair of sunglasses that will be coming out in a month or so. We’re in production at the moment, but no one knows about it. We got the idea because we kept seeing people dressing up as us for parties or for Halloween wearing big shades and a wig, so I was like, ‘Let’s come out with these sunglasses that represent us aesthetically.’ People love our look so we thought this would be a great addition to the collection. I never considered eyewear to be such a part of our look until we saw everyone dressing up like us doing it, so why not embrace it?
