Redear's Corner: Influence by The Olsen's

Fashion icons and one of my favorite set of twins ever birthed, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, are releasing their new coffee table book, Influence, under Penguin's YA Razorbill imprint. The book introduces readers to renowned designers, artist, entrepreneurs, and others who have inspired the established young women. Influence includes interviews with Diane von Furstenberg, John Galliano, Lauren Hutton, Karl Lagerfeld, Peter Lindbergh, Christian Louboutin, Margherita Missoni, Terry Richardson, and Giambattista Valli to name a few! The twins themselves are also interviewed within the 272 pages of bound work. Penguin's PR department provides seperate bios for the girls that can be read after the jump!!

Ashley Olsen
Admired for founding the luxury brand The Row, Ashley Olsen is a designer, entrepreneur, actress and style icon, not to mention one of the most influential young women in the fashion and entertainment industries. The Row, launched in 2006, was quickly picked up by high end retailers globally. Following on the heels of its success, Ashley ventured with her sister Mary-Kate into the contemporary market with the Elizabeth and James brand. Ashley was recently named "Fashion's New It Girl" by Harper's Bazaar.

Mary-Kate Olsen
Revered for her eclectic style and old Hollywood soul, Mary-Kate Olsen is an actress, designer, style icon and entrepreneur. Her influence in fashion has been recognized around the world and she currently co-designs The Row and Elizabeth and James with her sister and business partner, Ashley. Most recently, she has completed a recurring role on the hit TV show "Weeds" and wrapped the film "The Wackness" with Sir Ben Kingsley. The Hollywood Reporter named Mary-Kate one of the "Most Powerful Women in Hollywood."

Besides being on Mary Kate's nuts, the details have sparked my interest enough to where I will probably go pick up a copy, or just read it in Barnes & Noble from time to time! Either way, the hardcover will be released October 28, 2008, but you can preorder your copy now on Amazon.
