The Hadid family's domination of the fashion world just stepped up a level, as Gigi and Bella's younger brother Anwar has appeared on the cover of the June/July issue of Teen Vogue.

The model in the making was shot alongside Vine star Cameron Dallas, in an editorial titled 'Boys of the Summer.'

In the accompanying interview, Anwar revealed what it's like growing up in one of the world's most famous families. 'I think our family motto is to always work hard, be humble, kind, and thoughtful about others around us,' he said, adding 'I grew up with two sisters and a single mom. I feel very lucky for all they have taught me.'

As for Bella and Gigi's best modelling advice? 'They tell me to be myself, have fun, and focus on eye expressions.' The 16-year-old, who is now signed to IMG Models, also explained that he isn't intimidated by the success of his sisters.

'I try not to think about anyone’s expectations but rather focus on always doing my personal best [...] Modelling was never a thought in my mind growing up, but my mom felt it was important for me to be open to business opportunities and expand my horizons. I’m excited to go for it!'

Gigi Hadid and Bella Hadid have had quite the fashion month. Their ridiculously photogenic sister act has graced the catwalk at Chanel Couture and PUMA x Fenty, and the sisters have each racked up a host of individual runway appearances, too.

If you thought that the ridiculously good Hadid genes stopped there, though, you'd be wrong, as another Hadid sibling is rapidly rising through the modelling ranks - their younger brother, Anwar.

The 16-year-old has just landed a modelling contract, and it seems that he's decided to keep it in the family - he's joined the books at IMG models, the same agency that represents Gigi and Bella.

Anwar's mother Yolanda Foster (a former model herself) shared the news on Instagram by posting a headshot of her son (very

'blue steel') with the hashtag #SummerJobsComingUp.

The 16-year-old Hadid hasn't made his fashion week debut (yet), but made his modelling debut in an editorial in the October Issue of Nylon Magazine. This was part of their 'It Girl' issue, which also featured his sister Bella.

In his first editorial Anwar lies on white rocks in a black sweatshirt, rolled up blue jeans and black sneakers. Anwar said to Nylon: “My family is my foundation. My sisters are awesome; they probably taught me everything I ever need to know about girls. My mom is very liberal, but also old-fashioned when it comes to manners. She taught me to always be kind and treat others with respect."
