Olsen
Twins Model for Badgley Mischka
2/16/06
Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen are the latest celebrities to become models
after shooting the autumn ad campaign for designer Badgley Mischka.
The twin millionaires shot the campaign at New York City's St Regis
Hotel with famed fashion photographer Gilles Bensimon.
Designer Mark Badgley says, "Ashley and Mary-Kate have an amazing
sense of fashion that intrigued us.
"They reflect the younger, edgier and more sensual glamour that we
have incorporated into our fall collection."
The 19-year-olds traded their regular bohemian-chic wardrobe for
glamorous gowns and jewels during the photo shoot.
Creative Director Dari Marder says the designers were looking for
"Modern day Cinderellas, just edgier".
The Olsens only requirements for the shoot according to Marder, were
"lots of fruits and vegetables. And of course, coffee."
Marder made sure when she was scouting locations that the twins favorite
coffee shop, Starbucks, was nearby so they could have easy access to their
favorite beverage, triple venti low-fat lattes (an extra-large coffee with
three shots of espresso and low-fat milk).
