Kyle and Lane Carlson (born December 24, 1978 ) are identical twin brothers known collectively as the Carlson Twins. The Carlson twins work together as male fashion models.[1]

Biography

The twins were born in Stillwater, Minnesota, United States,[2] Kyle six minutes after Lane. The Carlson twins grew up with two older siblings, Aaron and Michelle, and a younger sister, Lynnaya.[3] The brothers attended Stillwater High School and both graduated from Winona State University.

Career

The brothers began their modeling career when Lane was "discovered" in a mall in La Crosse, Wisconsin.[4] The twins have since become internationally successful models. As with the Brewer twins, the Carlson twins first received public attention after modeling naked for photographer Bruce Weber.[5][6]

The Carlson twins have worked for Armani, Out magazine[7][8] and Abercrombie and Fitch,[9] with the popularity of the twins increasing after they appeared together in Abercrombie and Fitch's now discontinued catalog, A&F Quarterly (Spring Break 2001). At the peak of their careers, the Carlson twins frequently worked as underwear models, with Calvin Klein reputedly preferring Kyle to front the company's underwear campaigns.[citation needed]

In 2002, Lane appeared as a contestant on NBC's Fear Factor; although he made it to the final round of the series, he did not emerge as the winner.[10]

In 2005, the Carlson twins appeared on the WB Television Network's comedy program, Mobile Home Disaster.[11]

In 2007, Kyle was regularly featured on the HGTV program, Deserving Design, with Vern Yip. Kyle's primary role role on the program involved carpentry.[12][13]
