Be Influenced by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen This Holiday
In their New York Times bestseller Influence, which we've been raving about since day one, the sisters take us on a visual journey of people — photographers, designers, artists, writers, icons — who have influenced them. Considering the girls have already embarked on several successful fashion adventures: The Row, Elizabeth and James, Robert Lee Morris for Elizabeth and James jewelry, and soon-to-come Elizabeth and James shoes, I was curious to see what, and who, influences them.
The book is full of eye candy and insight into the lives of the two powerhouses.

Fab Flash: More Female Designers Exuding Influence
Big change is afoot in the fashion industry: after the 90s, which were dominated by male designers, women designers seem to be taking the upper hand.
Even though female designers have a long way to go in male-run fashion capitals like New York and Paris, there does seem to be a trend emerging, particularly in Milan. In Italy alone, a large number of family-run companies were founded or are helmed by women: Alberta Ferretti, Prada, Versace, Fendi, Trussardi, Missoni, Etro, and Emilio Pucci.
