Entertainment, Fashion Is Fun

Fashion Story Time With the Brant Brothers: Sitting Front Row and Missing Marc Jacobs

We met Peter and Harry Brant, the sons of supermodel Stephanie Seymour, at the second Miu Miu Musing a couple weeks ago. While Peter Brant II might be better known at the moment for photos snapped of him and his supermodel mom being super-affectionate on the beach at St. Barth’s that sent the internet into a frenzy (Brant subsequently eloquently defended the photos in a statement to Gawker)–after watching Peter and his little brother Harry essentially upstage larger-than-life Andre Leon Talley that night, we knew these boys were destined for fashion greatness. Like, they’re gonna be huge.

They also happen to know their stuff when it comes to fashion. Having family friends like Azzedine Alaïa and and Naomi Campbell around will do that do a person. “When we were little we used to spend hours sifting through our mother’s dressing room and various designer’s ateliers,” Harry told us.

So we asked them to send in dispatches from their experiences at New York Fashion Week. Peter, 17, reflects on what it’s like to sit in the front row (and what happened when someone stole his seat at Alexander Wang). Harry, 15, hilariously recounts his failed efforts to make it to Marc Jacobs on time.

Enjoy.

THESE KIDS are Amazing

hahaah

Should Be Monthly

arent thoose the kids from the beach photos?

That was seriously obnoxious. What if he had been forced to third row instead of second and wasn’t next to Dizzy? Would he have had a happy ending or an expensive temper tantrum. The longer I live here the more I realize New York’s luxury, convenience, and exclusivity are toxic. I’ll be a good parent and my children will appreciate fucking STANDING at Wang.

Jesus christ,

its suppose to be like that, ahahahah its a story that was funny Ha

talk about privelege.

imagine taking a sketchy car just for a fashion show or that your biggest worry is sitting a row back.

pretentious, maybe but that’s the world they live and grew up in.

Theyr hilarious they need more articles like these! And no they’re not brats it’s an entertaining article so they made it entertaining

I’m surprised more people aren’t calling them brats for having the privilege they do. That wouldn’t be fair, they seem to be grateful and humorous young men.

Why do you celebrate this kind of entitlement and brattiness?

This is exactly what is wrong with this industry.

Ah, come on. These boys can’t help the family they were born into. They seem perfectly charming and good looks from their Mom.

litterally i love harry and they are uch nice boys, even though they are privileged DOES NOT mean they are bratty, which they are not. they are actually very down to earth and nice, along with the rest of the family. loveyouguys<3

The elders letter to Gawker defending his affection for his mother was so old school chivalrous & charming that they can do no wrong in my eyes. Spoiled brats or not, as long as they don’t turn out to be vapid tools like Paris Hilton, I will be grateful. Note: if someone tried to steal my seat at a show I would kick their ass.

Yes there privalidged, but they were suppose to tell a story which they did a kick ass one
and these kids a fucking smart

PEACE

AWSOME
hahahah i never stopped laughing

Entertaining. They seem like great kids, especially after having a mother known to be an alcoholic and addict. Let’s hope they have another figure in their life to keep their head above ground, and that they are not tainted or follow in the footsteps of their drunk mother.

I live in Greenwich and are familiar with the Brant children. I am sure they have a slue of staff to take care of their needs. It is very sad as their mother has been pawned to have this reputation. She seems very nice, but has been rumored to be a frequent at local restaurant bars and making an obliterated scene, purchasing excessive items in local stores. Their father, however, seems to be a private man.
