I have waited a long time for influence to arrive and it did not disappoint me in any way.
everything about this book is beautiful and the interviews are very interesting and so are the people of course! when i saw they interviewed Galliano i got incredibly excited!
definitely worth purchasing if you are interested in fashion or art!

I bought the book and I find it interesting and inspiring. Lots of beautiful, high-quality photos of the Olsens as well as of famous people and LOTS of fashion items - drawings, exhibits, artwork, etc. Also candid and revealing letters from famous people as well as personal letters from one Olsen twin to the other. And, of course, interviews of fashion icons and famous designers.
An inspiring, charming, and visually pleasing book.

This book did exactly what its title says, Influenced. It was a way of looking into peoples lives that we read about and see pictures of but really know little about. It opened my eyes to the world of different forms of art and peoples thought processes behind what they do, something that allows you to appreciate their work more. It was wonderful to see the passion in these peoples lives. I think of Mary Kate and Ashley in a whole different light, their style while maybe weird, is definately their own. It was a great read! I would 100% recommend this book!
Olsen justice rendered, it seems November 8, 2008

An extremely humbling account of their true intelligence and willingness to stay cultured and creative even against all accusations of them being unoriginal.
In fact, I think this book is the first thing to have done them any justice in all the years we've watched them appear before us.
These girls obviously are concerned with "owning" their own act, and the book definitely explores that when Leboutin tells them even creative people need to feed off other creative minds.
I just can't imagine no one being touched by this book, especially given how they concede to "not knowing it all" unlike what their status as billionaires has hitherto implied.
I think that alone earns a few stars..

I have followed Mary-kate and Ashley my whole life. I was a little sceptical about getting this book, because I did not want to be disapointed! I wasn't disapointed at all!!! The book in a whole is so inspiring. They put it together beautifully and the interviews are really well done!! My favorite part is the fact that just about everyone they interview talks about working REALLY hard. Which I think is what a lot of young people my age need to hear. That they didn't just deserve to be where they are, they have truley given their careers all they have to get where they are!!
