Harriet & Carter Were for Freunde von Freunden

With equal amounts of presence and mystery, twin sisters Harriet and Carter Were live their lives as if they’ve been granted a practice round. Perhaps this instinctive wisdom comes from their family and upbringing or perhaps it’s from their close peers, either way they have managed to strike a beautiful balance between life’s fundamentals and what’s worth striving for.
The Were-ideal is to gain freedom by simply doing the things that they love; walking their English Bull Terrier Mabel to the nearby beach, creating one-off pieces for friends, or making food and entertaining friends in their own back yard. Constant reevaluation of what is important to them as individuals, feeds the girls’ drive to create their own unique movements. Using the city and its appreciation of locality to fuel their endeavors, it is the vast and rugged landscapes on the outskirts of the city that really ignite their spirits. A constant yearning for their ultimate destination; a space to grow vegetables and farm their own animals, not only keeps the Were sisters’ priorities in check, it also allows the bigger picture to stay in focus.
