Fashion disaster: the Olsen twins

Saturday, June 5th, 2010

The Olsen twins or hate or love and I, honestly, I have always appreciated more than their style, their courage to make choices outside the normal range. But this time they really exaggerated.
A few nights ago, in fact, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen attended the evening in honor of director Tim Burton, which was held at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, treading the red carpet with a look that strange to say the least, I do not know how else to describe it, halfway between the gypsy and bohemian.

Ashley chose a black trench coat, from which protruded a long dress to mid-calf in shades of blue with white border and décolleté with gold applications swarovsky signed Manolo Blahnick. Mary Kate, however, preferred a whimsical leopard coat paired with a long black skirt, fedora and dark lipstick.

What saved once again the total rejection by the Olsen twins? Their endless collection of bags and their choice of showing both a delicious black Hermes Birkin.
