Olsens launch new book 'Influence' in New York City

Team Olsen combined powers yesterday for the New York launch of their style book Influence (you can hear them talk about the book with Oprah Below).
But who had the edge?
Besides discussing what they eat for breakfast *snore* the Olsen twins' interview with Oprah was actually filled with some pretty interesting stuff. In this clip, Mary-Kate and Ashley discuss their new style book, Influence, and what it was like to interview Karl Lagerfeld the day before his runway show.

Olsen does Menswear
The Olsens are obviously very busy at the moment, their coffee table fashion tome 'Influence' is released at the end of October and now they've announced plans for a menswear range which could be available as soon as next Autumn.
This could be more of a solo venture however as Ashley has taken control over The Row until her sister Mary-Kate 'has her personal life together'.
Either way, The Row has proven itself to be one of the more interesting -albeit expensive, celebrity ranges so it will be interesting to see what Ashley comes up with.

It looks like Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are continuing the expansion of their Elizabeth and James line.
After doing a line of jewellery with Robert Lee Morris, the twins are now teaming up with Steve Madden on Elizabeth and James shoes.
The question our friends at Fashionista are asking is will they be affordable shoes a la Madden's usual sold alongside $700 dresses, or will we be seeing the advent of $500 Steve Madden pumps?

Elle UK September: Mary-Kate Olsen
On her unique dress sense: "I love playing dress up. I get inspired by old films, weird things. It could just be the person sitting across from me or it could be a full Victorian costume"
On media attitudes to her clothing choices: "What I find odd though is that a weekly [magazine] will come out describing my outfit as a fashion disaster, while the fashion industry actually respects what I wear."
On the Olsens' clothing lines The Row, and Elizabeth and James: "I think more of my energy goes in to Elizabeth and James, [The Row is] Ashley's baby."

Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen's 'Influence' Now Available for Pre-Order!
Jetsetting Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen together and separately interviewed 22 influential actors, artists, and designers (including Bob Colacello, Christian Louboutin, Diane von Furstenberg, Jack Pierson, Karl Lagerfeld, Lauren Hutton, Margherita Missoni, Robert Lee Morris, and Terry Richardson) over the course of their travels for their year-long pet project, Influence. The photo-heavy Rizzoli/Assoulinesque coffee table tome is published by Penguin's Razorbill and features personal momentos, never-before-seen snapshots and exclusive photographs courtesy of legendary lensman Rankin. The anthology is designed by illustrious book maestro Rodrigo Corral and edited by art and fashion writer Derek Blasberg.
At long last, the book is available for pre-order (list price $35/£16) at Barnes & Noble and Amazon.

The Olsens team up with U.S designer Robert Lee Morris to create Jewellery line
‘We both love accessories and they’ve always been important to us,’ Mary-Kate told WWD recently. Indeed the duo are always the first to rock the season’s new and more directional accessories trends, so we have high hopes for their new collaboration with Morris who has a career that spans over 40 years, working with some of fashion’s biggest names from Calvin Klein to Donna Karan, and more recently the Olsen’s most fashionable friend, Karl Lagerfeld.
Thick metal cuffs (natch), statement rings, necklaces and earrings – which all the catwalks agree are back in a big way for winter 2008 – will all feature when the collection launches in Intermix stores in the U.S in September. Prices will start at $65 to $700, which means that whether you’re after an easy, seasonal update or a more timeless collectable piece, you should find what you’re looking for.
The Olsen’s decision to launch a jewellery collection before a bag or shoe line is a statement in itself, showing these two have an acute sense of the next big thing, and that they are shaping up next season to become an even bigger fashion force than before (it was recently reported that brand Olsen is worth $1 billion). But with their penchant for all accessories from platform boots to clutch bags, we’re hoping a shoe and bag collaboration will soon follow.

It’s one of the biggest fashion evenings of the year, and Monday night’s annual Costume Institute Gala in New York has a few famous surprises in store — including the ultra-exclusive seating plan.

Meanwhile, WWD has got the low-down on who else we can expect including Kate Moss, Mariah Carey, Renée Zellweger, Scarlett Johansson, Claire Danes, and Mischa Barton. As for the designers - look out for Valentino, Tom Ford, Dolce & Gabbana and Donatella Versace.
My money is on Victoria Beckham and Roberto Cavalli... or perhaps Marc Jacobs?! Either way, it's shaping up to be HUGE!
