Influence by the Olsen Twins
Jump to Comments
Karl on the tall, chatty models:
KL: Nowadays you start to model because you’re young. Now the girls are sixteen, seventeen, fifteen, and Russian. They are like from another planet
AO: They can look very bizarre!
KL: I hate all these tall women. They are all giants!
MKO: If only I were a little taller — that would make me happy!
KL: You are one meter fifty-one. You are taller than that?
AO: We’re five feet and one inch.
KL: Oh, I thought my office told me that you were four-foot eight or something. Not that it matters. What you need is a face. If you have a face you don’t need height or a voice. Models know this; that’s why the good ones don’t need to talk much.
Siden i vinters har snakken gået om the Olsen twins upcoming “coffee table book”, og nu er den her så endelig. Bogen byder på aldrig før sete billeder fra the Olsen twins private gemmer, samt interviews med nogle af de mest inflydelsesrige designere, fotografer og kunstnere i verden, som for eksempel John Galliano, Christian Louboutin, Richard Prince og Terry Richardson, for blot at nævne nogle stykker.
Selv gode gamle Karl, as in Karl Lagerfeld, har ladet sig interviewe af de berømte tvillinger. Her deler han både råd ud om familie planlægning og kommenterer på høje, snaksagelige modeller.
Karl on family-planning:
KL: I like more classic shapes now. Best thing to do for skinny people to wear tight dresses. Although jeans are becoming too tight.
AO: Ah! Yes, it’s becoming a problem. It’s the worst.
KL: You can kill yourself in these jeans.
MKO: Ha, I’d rather stay inside with my friends than limp out in tight trousers.
KL: Maybe you’ll stay inside with a baby. Do you want to get married? Children? Two perfect mums, yes? [Mary-Kate and Ashley look at each other]
KL: Ah! Don’t worry, you have time. You’re young. Don’t you want to get married?
MKO: I don’t feel the need to get married. But Ashley wants children. I’ll be a great aunt or godmother.
AO: To my child.
KL: [To Ashley] Are you planning?
AO: No. I don’t even have a boyfriend. You have to plan that first, right? Figure that out first?
KL: If you get a boyfriend it doesn’t mean that! Today you can have a baby first. If you want. I never liked the idea of a family at all. If it’s a woman — it’s more fun for a woman.

Tak for uddraget – damn! de lyder da ikke for intelligente, hverken tvillingerne eller Karl L! Dermed ikke sagt, at de ikke er det – talesprog virker bare aldrig særlig godt, når det er direkte skrevet ned. Men det er nok ikke teksten, der ville få mig til at købe bogen…
Mvh

Hej Mette.
Må sige, at jeg fik samme tanke, da jeg først læste de forskellige uddrag. Kunne ikke lade være med at trække lidt på smilebåndet.
Kunne da godt tænke mig at nærstudere bogen lidt, men ligefrem at købe den, bliver nok ikke aktuelt.
Hurra for biblioteket!

Hej Caroline.
Mange tak – og så kan jeg jo passende sige lige over
Mon ikke man kan finde den hos Gad eller Arnold Busk?
Ellers kan den også købes her: http://www.elounge.com
