Harper's Bazaar's New IT Girl
The 2005 July issue of Harper's Bazaar has named Ashley Olsen as the new fashion it girl. Can the Bazaar get any slower? Both the twins have been 'it' girls ever since two years ago after they have grown out of their awkward teenage phase, (or argueably, they have been 'it' girls since they were nine months old.) Has this blog not been tracking their fantastic fashion since like, we started blogging?
So why why why is Bazaar only naming Ash as the fashion 'it' girl when it is usually MK who gets the 'fashion icon' label and really, wasn't the whole appeal of the Olsen twins that there are TWO of them? It's probably something the editors at Bazaar want you to forget, but the only reason why only one Olsen is on the cover is because Mary Kate refuses to be in it. And quite understandably so since the only thing that anyone cares about is how bony she is today, the poor girl. Ash being the smart sazzy business woman she is, decides that a classy Bazaar cover would help boost sales of their Mary Kate and Ashley fashion and (brand new) furniture lines, so there she is.
So since Bazaar only managed to snag one Olsen, SHE is the new fashion it girl. You have got to marvel at the power of clever backscene editorial planning of Bazaar. But on a serious note, go buy the issue when it hits the stand at the end of June. The photos are beautiful, and Ash really is a darling.

That pretty aqua blueish dress Ash is wearing on the cover is by Dior, btw.
MK is the one getting mentioned all over the place for the past couple of months. Ashley badly needs this publicity. Either that or she has to go anorexic.
Doing some shopping today, noticed the tabloid/celebrity rags (Star?) about worst and best dressed, MK is being named worse these days. I mulled over this briefly.
It is so bizarre to see just one of them on the cover. I'm tempted to buy it to see the pictures. I adore them both and you are right about Bazaar being a LITTLE (i.e. 2 years) behind.
Oh, I dunno.. http://www.kissmestace.com/archives/2005-05/the-biggest-fashion-disaster-ive-ever-seen/
Mary-Kate and Ashley are fashion it girls? Really? They may clean up nice for awards shows, but they typically look like bag ladies in between.
Even though a lot of people find MKA's fashion sense below them or think it's just not their style, its undeniable how much the clothes they wear has affected recent trends. And there are still some people who think they look weird with not perfectly fitted clothes on them. People, we're not in the horrible ninties anymore -tight clothes are NOT the way to go.
Barneys Girl and I can't wait for tomorrow to come and past -tmw is the last day of our exams! (such a coincidece.)

i think that ashley has a way more classic boho yet sophisticated style rather than MK. i mean they should be known not just as mk&a but as themselves. thats what they keep asking of you fashionistas and tabloid writers. so give ashley a chance to shine by herself and to be known as herself rather than MKs sister. and ashley does not need to go anorexic for her to be known youre just hating on her! plus they dont look like bag ladies theyre just trying to create theyre own style. maybe you should do the same but with your sense of fashion. just look at ashley in a new prospective and youll see that theres much more.the point is shopshop that the reason they even created there style was to be unique and even if people think they look weird in baggy clothes it doesnt matter screw them!!! its their style not yours. if you saw a non celebrity walking down the street in their style u wouldnt care not one bit about it so just try and show a little compassion. im thirteen and im more open to new fashion ideas than all of you are and i want to become a fashion designer!so HA! harrods bazaar rocks! and ashley is the new it girl deal with it!
your blog very best content about fashion....I love..
