Wynning Team

Wynn the Mink

inherit the earth;

The Smiths.

Born nine months apart, Wynn and Mink Smith may be the most symbiotic sibling act since Cocteau's Gerard and Elisabeth. "He's got all the talent," coos Mink about her fashion-designer brother, who began styling her M wardrobe when she was a first-grade Oklahoma beauty H ■ queen. "I couldn't do it without her," he says of his sister, muse, and model. Their chic eccentricity has won them cult status in San Francisco, where Wynn, attired in white pajamas, squires around Mink, blithely bedecked in swim cap, sneakers, and one of his gowns. Dispensing with side seams, distinctions between day and night, and retro references, Wynn conceives the unorthodox clothes during long rocking-chair reveries. "I've worn out two since Christmas," he boasts. AMY FINE COLLINS
