S ylvester and Jennifer Flavin Stallones

18-year-old daughter is balancing her senior
year of high school, an on-the-rise modeling
career, and the wishes of two doting parents.

T&C: Whats life like in the Stallone household?

SISTINE: We like to go horseback riding,
watch movies, swim every day in our new pool:
super, super normal.
T&C: Your sister attends USC. Are you thinking
about staying in L.A. for college?
SISTINE: My parents would love to keep me
near. Theyre protective, and they want their
little girl home, but I feel that a smart move
would be for me to go to college in New York
and continue modeling there. But it kind of all
depends on if Im working, and what my par-
ents think.
T&C: You have more than 150,000 Instagram
followers. Have you ever posted something youve
regretted?
SISTINE: Im pretty careful. Even if I delete
something, I know somebody probably will
have a screen shot. I portray myself how I want
people to view me.
T&C: Has the modeling business taught you any
lessons?
SISTINE: Ive been thrown into this adult
world, and its taught me to work hard and
respect peoples time. Being nice is majorly key.
It gets you so much farther.

New York society by storm in the 1990s) just
moved to Manhattan, where shes retracing her

T&C: Whats been the biggest adjustment about
moving to New York City?

meant no quiet time. Now I have too much. But
I love that I can go from tranquillity to chaos
just by opening my front door.
T&C: The best fashion advice you ever received?
OLYMPIA: From my grandmother to my
mother to me: It is always better to be
