Paris Hilton and Nicky Hilton are models, designers, entrepreneurs ... sisters and friends who find their strength in always being a team. Even thinking of others: with the #BreakingSilenceCode project and with the family foundation.

&laquo;The shooting was very long&raquo; , says Nicky Hilton, who has just arrived at her New York home, while we wait a few seconds for Paris to connect, tuned to the Los Angeles time zone. 
 
OFFICIEL ITALIA : Were you competitive as a child or did you form a team? 
 
Nicky Hilton: We&#39;ve always been a team, like our whole family; it&#39;s the way we were raised. And probably also because we had different interests, goals and tastes. And we have always been great supporters of each other. My mom used to say that the success of one is the success of the other, it has always been like that. 
 
Paris Hilton: What Nicky says is true, we have always been united. We have never actually been competitive with anyone. We have always wanted the best for us, for our friends, for everyone in the world. And I think this is a wonderful way of being: because what you give, you receive. And I&#39;m very lucky, my sister is also my best friend, I don&#39;t know what I would do without her. 
 
LOI: No quarrels even as a girl? 
 
NH: We were like all teenagers are, we took clothes from each other&#39;s closet, and maybe that was the only reason for the two of us to clash.

PH: When we were little, our mom would dress us as twins, we had double outfits, until we became teenagers, and I started fetching clothes from Nicky&#39;s closet. But we were different, I&#39;ve always been more tomboy, and Nicky more girly, growing up. 
 
LOI: Is there anything crazy you did as a kid together?

NH: We liked rodents: hamsters, guinea pigs, mice ... all rodents, it&#39;s very strange looking back now.

PH: Yes, we took them to our home in Bel Air, California. We had a huge dollhouse there, it had a living room, bedroom and kitchen ... There was also water and electricity. It was gorgeous. We hid them there, so as not to anger our parents, who knew nothing about it.

LOI: Do you believe in &quot;sisterhood&quot; between women?

NH: Yes, I believe in the extended sense of sisterhood. And I love the quote that says &quot;empower women, empower women&quot;; I love it when women are together, and support each other.

LOI: You are both models, fashion designers, entrepreneurs and many other things. What is the most important thing for you right now?

NH: For me the family, being there for my daughters and my husband (James Rothschild, descendant of the banking family). The girls are very young, they are three and four years old, and this is a period that passes very quickly ... And I want to be there at all times, not to lose anything. I love being a mom.

PH: My family, my boyfriend (the entrepreneur Carter Reum), my pets are very important to me. And also #BreakingCodeSilence (literally: breaking the pact of silence, ed.), The movement I belong to and which I talked about in the documentary &ldquo;This is Paris&rdquo;. It is very important to me, it is my new life mission.

(In the documentary, released in September 2020, Paris talked about the traumatic experiences she underwent while attending Provo Canyon School: verbal, emotional and physical abuse that caused her anxiety, insomnia and trust issues; and to commit to the movement she wants to increase. awareness of the problems related to the Troubled Teen Industry, which also includes schools and private organizations, where there is no regulation on the health and safety of minors). 
 
LOI: You are entrepreneurs, what kind of boss are you?

NH: I like to think I&#39;m good. I get along well with people and at work I am quite easy going, even if I always go straight to the point. I took from my father, I am serious, direct and more confrontational than Paris, who took from my mother and is more shy; both are more relaxed and free spirited.

LOI: Paris, for the public you have always been a divisive figure, love or hate ...

PH: There are many preconceptions; Coming from a family with an important surname, I think a lot of people take it for granted that she is spoiled, that she has always had food ready and hasn&#39;t worked a single day of my life. But that&#39;s an opinion so far from reality. I&#39;ve worked hard, and I&#39;ve never behaved thinking I&#39;m different from others. Having seen me in &quot;The Simple Life&quot; (the reality show he took part in from 2003 to 2007), they assume that I am in real life, but it was a role. I am smart. I&#39;m not a stupid blonde, I&#39;m just very good at pretending to be.

LOI: What projects are you working on?

NH: I&#39;m working on a shoe collection with French Sole, they are made 100% with sustainable materials, I&#39;ve wanted to do it for a long time. The fashion industry is one of the most polluting; I would like to have a role in sustainability, because it is the future. Also, I&#39;m working on a children&#39;s breakfast with the Dotty dungarees brand, which will be launched in the spring. And with Paris we are working on a common project, and this is very nice because we hadn&#39;t done it for a long time. It will be a lot of fun.

PH: I&#39;m working on my 29th perfume. And my new beauty company is developing a make-up line. Also I&#39;m writing a new book, and I have a TV show coming out for Netflix. I am also working on the new clothing and lingerie collection. I&#39;m very busy, I&#39;m also going to Washington this year to support the cause of Breaking Code Silence.
