Paris and Nicky Hilton may not be hitting the clubs together like they used to, but these sisters are as tight as ever.

In the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/y2k-fashion-inspiration-2021-instagram-celebrity-style" target="_blank">2000s</a>, everything from fashion to pop culture was defined by the Hilton sisters. Socialites <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/leret-leret-cashmere-sweater-brooklyn-beckham-caroline-vreeland-yolanda-hadid" target="_blank">Nicky</a> and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/paris-hilton-favorite-y2k-accessories-hot" target="_blank">Paris&nbsp;Hilton</a> were at the forefront of the &quot;famous for being famous&quot; era. Their style is the core of the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/gen-z-y2k-millennial-90s-fashion-nostalgia" target="_blank">Y2K aesthetic</a>, and their antics were a hallmark of the early aughts&#39; celebrity blogosphere.&nbsp;Nearly 20 years later, Nicky shares&nbsp;two children with her husband James Rothschild, while Paris recently got <a href="https://apnews.com/article/paris-hilton-engaged-carter-reum-04cf1faa03cc9153d7ab7b610635f6fb" target="_blank">engaged</a> to her boyfriend Carter Reum. While the two have both pursued separate careers across the fashion and beauty landscape, more recently, Paris&mdash;like her bestie <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/kim-kardashian-assistant-paris-hilton-2000s-skims-instagram" target="_blank">Kim Kardashian</a>&mdash;has found a passion for activism.

In her&nbsp;This Is Paris documentary, released in September 2020, Paris talked about the verbal, emotional, and physical abuse she experienced while going to boarding school at&nbsp;Provo Canyon School. As a result, she has become commited&nbsp;to lobbying for regulations within the&nbsp;Troubled Teen Industry&nbsp;by supporting <a href="https://www.breakingcodesilence.net/" target="_blank">Breaking Code Silence</a>, an organization dedicated to bringing these problems to light. To give fans a better insight into the lives of these two pop culture icons, the sisters spoke with L&#39;OFFICIEL about their childhood bond, family, and secret joint project in the works.

L&#39;OFFICIEL: 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.

L&#39;O: 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.

L&#39;O: Is there anything crazy you did as&nbsp;kids 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. There we had a huge dollhouse, it had a living room, bedroom and kitchen. There was also water and electricity. It was gorgeous. We hid them there, so we didn&#39;t&nbsp;upset our parents, who knew nothing about it.

L&#39;O: 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;empowered&nbsp;women&nbsp;empower women&quot;; I love it when women are together, and support each other.

Nicky and Paris wear sartorial suits, ERMANNO SCERVINO; earrings, WALTERS FAITH; ring, ANNE SISTERON; shoes, STUART WEITZMAN.

L&#39;O: 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. 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, and my pets are very important to me. And also #BreakingCodeSilence, the movement I belong to and which I talked about in the documentary This is Paris. It is very important to me. Iit is my new life mission.

L&#39;O: 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.

L&#39;O: Paris, for the public, you have always been a divisive figure. How do you feel about that?

PH: There are many preconceptions; Coming from a family with an important surname, I think a lot of people think I take it for granted or that I&#39;m spoiled, that I have&nbsp;always had food ready and haven&#39;t worked a single day of my life. But it is an opinion so far from reality. I have worked hard, and have never behaved thinking that I am different from others. Having seen me in The Simple Life, they assume that I am that way 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.

L&#39;O: 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 brand Dotty Dungarees, which will be launched in the spring. And with Paris we are working on a common project, which this is very nice because we haven&#39;t done that 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.&nbsp;I&#39;m also going to Washington this year to support the cause of <a href="https://www.breakingcodesilence.net/" target="_blank">Breaking Code Silence</a>.

L&#39;OFFICIEL ITALIA issue n&deg;36 with Paris and Nicky Hilton will be on newsstands starting February 26th.
