LFB: Because journalism is my passion and I train doing interviews. You are twins which is something extra and I wanted to have a masculine opinion about fashion. Plus it was an opportunity to know more about fitness models and their affinities with fashion.

What I like about Alan and Jhoe is that they do not show off, they don’t brag about being fitness models. Moreover, they share my opinion about fashion. Our interview was like a normal discussion and we even became friends. Unlike common beliefs, the world of fashion is not just about competition, it is about meeting people who will support you like Jhoe and Alan do with me.
