BANDITS AT HEART: Twin brothers, the best of each other
Meet Bandolero and Blindato, two Portuguese models, artists and twins. They explain about their unusual names: “António and Manuel are the names our parents gave us. Bandolero and Blindato are the names that represent our identity. We were the ones who created them.” The duo strikes us as one force, a duality, Yin and Yang. In an interview they share their thoughts about art, nature and brotherhood.
In a second collaboration with sugar designer and pastry chef Filipe Blanquet our team around ZOOT beauty editor Antonia Rosa capured the playful rebel spirit of Bandolero and Blindato. This time Filipe created fondant letters and symbols, applying them on the twins faces like bionic implantations or like hyroglyphes of an ancient long gone society, creating an artistic fusion of beauty and pastry. Stylist and fashion designer Pedro Trocades underlined and softened the masculinity of the twins by choosing bold fabrics with feminine cuts. Photographer Joana Linda captured their fragility as well as their bold bandit style.
