I'd also like to add Gaga to the list. She gave McQueen some serious mainstream appeal.
The Olsens just won an award for their line the Row:
Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen: CFDA Fashion Award Honorees! | Ashley Olsen, Mary-Kate Olsen, Olsen Twins : Just Jared

They are also featured in this month's Vogue.

I keep wanting to tell both of them to pull back their shoulders and stand up straight.

And eat something.

(But I like the pink.)

True, good posture is a great accessory ... and it's free! But I like the pink too, and Ashley (I think) has lovely skin in that picture.

I never get the feeling that she's had a stylist saying, "Oh, Look what XXX gave you to wear. Don't forget to mention that name." She's a total original and probably doesn't give a flying fig what we think of her. Love people who can step outside the box like that and be freeeeeeeee!
Tell me that this woman does not own it. Mary-Kate would never have the guts to wear these shoes. Make sure you see the shoes.

The thing about HBC is she is who she is....I absolutely admire her for that.
Now, that said, those shoes

I did like the pink outfit -whichever Olsen twin was wearing it. I do wish the sleeves fit properly though. I hate it when sleeves (on a jacket especially) fall to mid palm....an otherwise presumably lovely outfit has a sloppy detail IMO. With as small as those young ladies are already, it goes back to the "I raided my mother's closet to find something decent to wear" look.....

It is all about the character and the authenticity of one's style... one either has it, or tries too much to have it.

I love Helena B. Carter's original quirkiness...and she has great posture as well.

"Eat something" is kind of offensive. I'm naturally a size 0-2 and I get that comment all the time. And it usually comes from women that have seen the bottom of a bag of chips but not the inside of a gym. Some people are naturally petite and while MK Olsen had some eating problems that came to light awhile ago, lets not be haters.

So true. What is it with fashion people that smoke? It's outrageous in Europe! Yuck.
