If you've spotted a quartet of long-legged beauties in the room at most of this season's fashion week festivities, and wondered who the elegant ladies are, you are not alone. The Courtin-Clarins girls are the Parisian heiresses to the Clarins empire, founded by their grandfather 60 years ago, but today they are making their own mark on the fashion world. This fashion week, we have seen them everywhere, from the pages of Vogue to the front row of shows. With four unique, but equally stunning looks and personalities, the girls have begun several ventures together (and apart) that are sure to make them household names. Take a look at our slideshow to get to know each one of the power foursome.

New York Fashion Week was launched in 1943 as the first-ever, organized fashion week. It was an attempt to draw the attention away from the French fashion industry during the height of World War II, when industry insiders were prohibited from traveling to Paris. During the early years, the events were only for the press, and buyers were not granted access. In 1994, the event moved to Bryant Park, and in 2009, it was branded Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week.
