Family fashion Zara and Robbie both work in a fashion boutique in London. But they are more than just colleagues – they are brother and sister. 1. Their parents own the shop. Zara on Robbie: ‘We weren’t very close when we were young. I was eight years older than my brother and we used to argue a lot. Then I went to college and did a degree in fashion, and started working for my father. 2. When he left college, he said he never wanted to work with his family. He tried to go his own way. 3. So about two years ago he joined me in the family shop after all! Actually, it’s worked out brilliantly. 4. Robbie is interested in display and the look of the shop, but I decide what clothes we sell. We get on much better now, and even see each other outside of work! Our business talents are different, but we both like the same music, and love James Bond movies. 5. And we have fun at work, too. Once Robbie was in the basement, and I phoned down and said Madonna was in the shop looking at trousers. Of course she wasn’t, but Robbie believed me. 6. He was really angry with me at first, but then he saw the funny side of it!’
