MODEL SIBLINGS

TYG ( LEFT) AND ELIZABETH DAVISON HAVE CONQUERED THE RUNWAYS— MARC JACOBS, PRADA AND ALEXANDER WANG, TO NAME A FEW. WE CAUGHT UP WITH THE VANCOUVER NATIVES ON- SET AND DISCOVERED THAT THEIR UNIQUE IDENTITIES ARE THE KEY TO THEIR BOND.

-

MODERN MUSES Tyg: “I never had any intention of modelling. I’d sew dresses for Elizabeth out of our mom’s sheets and take her photo.” Elizabeth: “Tyg was the fashion baby. I was more of a tomboy.” T: “Our aunt was friends with someone who owned a modelling agency in Vancouver, and Elizabeth got signed first. She moved to New York and I went to visit and we both got booked for a shoot. And then the agency signed me as well.”

WHAT’S IN A NAME? T: “I don’t think my name, Lauren, suits me at all. When I was a baby, my parents called me Tigger, from

Winnie the Pooh, and then Elizabeth started calling me Tyg.”

NO SHADE E: “We’ve always been able to stay close and not get competitiv­e. We have such different looks, so I never feel bad about myself when she does well.”

CHEERLEADE­R T: “Modelling is an emotional roller coaster. Having Elizabeth listen when I want to cry about getting dropped from a show means so much.”

TIME OUT T: “When we’re in Vancouver, we go hiking a lot. The mountains and forest there are so beautiful. But Alberta is our place to escape everything.”

OFF- DUTY STYLE T: “We both mix a lot of menswear into our wardrobes. Skinny jeans give me anxiety, so I don’t wear them.” E: “I used to think I could make sweatpants look cool. But now my style is more country girl.”

SISTER GOALS T: “We always wanted to walk a show together, and last couture season we did Jean Paul Gaultier. He was one of the first designers I worked with, so it was really special.”

TOGETHER FOREVER T: “Shooting with my best friend is amazing. It’s going to be lovely to have pictures we can show people when we’re old and wrinkly.” KIERA SPRONK
