To be a Kardashian-Jenner is to hustle as many ventures as possible. Case in point: the youngest members' newest foray into fashion, KENDALL + KYLIE. Not to be confused with the sisters' similar industry endeavors with Topshop and PacSun, their newest line is a more robust exploration of the duo's style DNA, from their glossy heads to their pointed-toe pumps.
Eyeing the collection, composed of ready-to-wear pieces and shoes (well, mostly stilettos), it's pretty easy to guess the celeb designers before noticing the name. A distilled version of the sisters' signature styles, the collection is still Kardashian-centric, with its mostly black and white palette, featuring neutral pastel touches.

The pale-pink baby doll and bohemian embroidered frocks seem very Kendall, while the second-skin LBD and deep V illusion jumpsuit are more Kylie. It's fun to play the guessing game of "which Jenner would wear this," but we thought it best to ask the girls about each other's style, their famous friends and making it through Fashion Week like a model.

You two have quite a few style similarities and differences. Even in the collection, you can see your unique influences. We could try to list your individual styles, but it would be more accurate if you did.

Kylie: Edgy, dark, always different.

Kendall: Classic, simple, chic.

What types of clothing do you both love?

Kylie: We both love simple clothes. Simplicity can definitely make a statement. Lots of black and white and muted tones.

Kendall: Kylie and I agree a lot during the design process. There are times when we help each other edit or take our ideas to the next level. Everything in the collection, from the dresses to the tops and bottoms, reflects what we want to wear out every day.

Kylie, what does Kendall wear that you never would?

Kylie: There's actually nothing in Kendall's closet I wouldn't wear. We have the same tastes, just different styles. If I wore one of her dresses, I might accessorize it differently or wear a different pair of shoes.

What is different about this collection than previous ones you've partnered with labels on?

Kylie: This collection is more mature. We've definitely grown up and have learned a lot over the years. We're still learning each day. We're really excited to debut this line because it's our voice and point of view in fashion.

Kendall: PacSun is our juniors' line and is inspired by the California girl ... super easy, casual and relaxed. Our capsule collections were fun collaborations with the Topshop brand. This line is more elevated and sophisticated and is the statement we want to make as designers and creative directors.

You've seeded this collection among your famous friends. How does it make you feel to have your friends wear the collection?
Kylie: We are definitely excited to see our friends wear the collection. There are specific outfits that capture each of their personalities. It's great to know that this line will cater to a lot of different personal styles and can be dressed up or down in many ways.

Do you have any tips for surviving Fashion Week?

Kendall: Fashion Week is always so much fun.... It's an adrenaline rush. My tips to survive Fashion Week: always carry an extra phone battery or charger. Drink a lot of water. Take power naps in your hotel whenever possible. You want as much energy for the after-party.

Do you have any advice for managing social media? Are there any rules or guidelines you use with your accounts?
Kylie: I would say use social media to promote your world. Use it for good. Have fun with selfies but don't overdo them. Be yourself.

Kendall: Don't let comments affect you. Post what you want and what inspires you. I like to save inspiration on my phone and post something depending on my mood.
