Like any good fashion blogger, I have a deep-seated affection for the Olsens (admittedly, I'm more a fan of Mary-Kate than Ashley). My favorite era was immediately post-rehab/early NYU MK..the homeless chic she was so critiqued and reviled for. But, I've enjoyed watching the girls evolve into quirky, classy, elegant adults, and I've been counting the weeks until their coffee table book, Influence, was finally released. So I spent a good two hours at Barnes & Noble poring over it..and I think it had exactly its intended effect on me. I was left thinking about the twenty individuals (artists, designers, creative types) the girls chose, and which twenty I'd have chosen, given millions of dollars and months of time to prepare such a tome.
Here's a rough idea:
1. Mary-Kate Olsen (obvious)
2. Ashley Olsen (ditto)
3. Marc Jacobs
4. Kate Moss
5. Elizabeth Peyton
6. Keith Richards
7. The Kills (yes, both of them together)
8. Al Gore
9. Banksy
10. Juergen Teller
11. Rick Owens
12. Christopher Bailey
13. Johnny Depp
14. Bjork
15. David Bowie
16. Sofia Coppola
17. Nicolas Ghesquiere
18. Dov Charney (yes, I went there)
19. Terry Richardson
20. My mom!
