Everydub Style Inspiration
Once I have bought it and have started to read it, I will let you ladies know what I think of it and give my own personal review of it. If anyone has read it please let me know what you think of it, I would love to know what your view of the book is! Whether it be positive or negative!
Here is a copy of what it said about the book on the Olsen's Website....
Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen, known around the world for their individual, unique style have emerged as two of our shared culture’s most influential women. In the pages of Influence, Ashley and Mary-Kate take readers on a journey through their celebrated young lives, pausing to reflect on what has helped shape them into who they are today.
They interviewed 20 people—and wrote brief essays about each other. In each interview, the girls explore what inspires the interviewee and the interviewee, in turn, explains how they became themselves. The interviewees include: Karl Lagerfeld, Diane Von Furstenburg, John Galliano and Christian Louboutin, among others. Each interview is both educational and inspiring and is preceded by an introduction written by Mary-Kate or Ashley, or both. The interviews are accompanied by a great variety of photographs and drawings provided by the interviewees—many of which are exclusive to Influence. The sections devoted to Mary-Kate and Ashley are quite extensive and filled with never-before-seen photographs and materials from Ashley and Mary-Kate’s private collections.
Internationally famous photographer Rankin shot the cover images and many interior shots. The book is designed by renowned book-designer Rodrigo Corral and edited by fashion and arts writer Derek Blasberg.
Both Mary-Kate and Ashley were instrumental in setting up, conducting and writing the interviews and introductions. They spent days working with Rodrigo Corral on the layout of each spread and they painstakingly reviewed each image included in the book. Influence is perhaps most inspiring because of how much it meant to MK and Ashley to construct a beautiful book that conveys to the reader where they are in their creative and professional lives and who they look to as they continue to grow and change.
“We interviewed the people who have inspired us, with the hope that they will inspire and teach others. We want to explain culturally how ideas evolve.” -Mary-Kate Olsen
“We have filled Influence with the most interesting, challenging, creative people we know—the ones who helped pave the way for us and our generation.” -Ashley Olsen
