The newly released book by the Olsen twins, Influence, is a must-read for our Chicago models. The publication contains revealing interviews with some of fashion and art’s major power players like John Galliano, Karl Lagerfeld, Christian Louboutin, Terry Richardson, Richard Prince and many others, as well as insight on the twins themselves. Any woman can be inspired by the success these girls have achieved, but those employed by our modeling agency and interested in making it in this industry should certainly try to pick up some tips from the taste-makers in this book.

Understanding the inspirations behind such successful women can only lead us to follow in their footsteps. Clearly, the Olsens are masterful at marketing themselves and at diversifying their success into many fields. Our models should learn to represent themselves and our company with the focus, work ethic and confidence that allowed the Olsens, and their interviewees in the book, to reach such impressive levels of success.
