Source catalog description
This description refers to material held by Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Visual details below describe the original material.
This is a color archival pigment print from the negative. The photograph depicts two twin sisters on the street in Manhattan, New York. The full-length portrait depicts the twins standing next to each other in poses resembling hip-hop locking dance moves: center hands held up palm-to-palm, other hands on hips, and their proper right feet stepped forward to meet toe-to-toe. They both wear fur coats and low-top white Adidas sneakers. The sister on the left has a black fur with dark brown trim, dark pants, and red fat laces in her sneakers. Her hair is styled in two side buns with deep, swooped bangs and she wears large, gold-colored, bamboo door-knocker earrings along with one gold ring on each hand. The sister on the right has a light brown fur coat over a red shirt and cuffed blue jeans, with black fat laces in her Adidas.
