Influence by Ashley and Mary Kate Olsen

i got to check this book out last night and it's very delightful. i'm a sucker for scrapbook-like imagery that fuses fashion and art and people who truly "influence" others. the book has interviews and shines light on people like Andy Warhol, Karl Lagerfeld and Christian Loubitin just to name a few. the sisters even write a piece on how they admire and each other and their style. this book was fun to look through and makes me want to start a scrapbook of what has influenced me over the years.

ps
you can listen to a podcast with the the twin sensations here.
