[…] The sisters were Polish Jews raised in the Netherlands who came to Paris in 1922 when Tylia was 18 and Bronia 16. They both found work modelling for various artists in Montparnasse.

She also modelled clothes for designers Paul Poiret and Nicole Grolt.” Quoted from source: tales of a mad cap heiress
