Considering the Olsen twins, the Wilson brothers and the Gyllenhaal gang, sharing the spotlight with an equally famous sibling seems like a nice idea. And what if you've got not one, but two compadres to share the swag with you? See Gen Art fashion program alumni Beckerman. A trifecta of clothing, jewelry and handbags, this is a brand as unique as the three sisters who created it. Developed by twins Caillianne and Samantha and younger sister Chloe Beckerman, the line is as whimsical and comfortable for the spring as it is stylish and structured for the fall.

Beckerman pieces possess a self-proclaimed sense of humor and a dash of something wild; with fun accents like ruffles, prints, bold patterns and logos, their clothes are anything but predictable. But what else is to be expected from a marriage of a fashion design degree, an accessories design and textile degree, and a surface design degree, all from the Fashion Institute of Technology? "We have been designing together since we were little kids," says Beckerman sister Caillianne. "We inspire each other."

After having their thesis graduation collection featured in Nylon magazine, the brand took off when a renowned Tokyo department store bought the full line soon thereafter. Three years later, their Spring 2008 collection—inspired by a day at the pier—is characterized by chic, everyday pieces. Day to night, Beckerman's shorts, tanks, dresses and jumpers function as well on the boardwalk as they do on the catwalk.

Looking toward the fall, anticipate classic Beckerman construction accompanied by cozy knits, bright plaids and tailored tweeds. Combining feminine dresses and luscious sweaters, the Beckerman girls will be sure to keep you dressed to impress just about any crowd. But that's getting a little ahead of ourselves. Don't miss the summer's newest looks as the Beckerman girls continue down their hot path to success. After all, when you're a Beckerman sister, life truly is a day at the beach.
