At the most recent Coachella Festival, the sisters can be seen sporting vibrant colors that make them pop in a sea of people.
The sisters don’t just express themselves boldly through fashion, but through beauty as well. Gabs, a makeup artist, has impressed the beauty world with her bold looks.
Chi urges the fashion industry to see the beauty in being short. As long as you “always consider proportion,” height will never be an obstacle for the perfect outfit.
“In the world of social media you’re bound to compare yourself a lot to other people. It took time for us to grow into our own and see our imperfections as part of our individuality.”
Gabs loves her curves, and hopes the fashion and beauty industries, which “still have a long way to go,” will continue to become more accepting different body types.
The sisters advise you to “experiment and try different things” when it comes to fashion and beauty. This way you can ” know what makes you feel good.”
Chi encourages women to “insert whimsy, color and magic into their everyday lives.”
The well-traveled sisters styles stand out no matter where in the world they are.
Gabs’s 80s-inspired look draws audiences into the synth pop universe of Gibbs, the multi-talented sisters’ musical project.
“Dress for your yourself and wear whatever makes you feel like you’re the star of your own movie.”
