It is a collection of interviews with people that Mary Kate and Ashley have come across in their lifetime and admired.

But unless you're really into all the "inspiring" people in the book, the interviews go on a bit too long, and tend to sound much the same. The only thing which was a bit of disappointment are the interview skills and techniques of the Olsens'. At times during my read, I got the vibe that they’re a bit oblivious to their immense privilege, but it was a nice bit of insight into where and who they were in life at that time, especially since they’ve been very private for about 15 years now.Ashley founded her luxury brand, The Row, in 2006, and co-design Elizabeth and James with Mary Kate.

Mary Kate and Ashley got together a bunch of people (some household names and some hugely infulential behind the scenes) and interviewed them. What's also cool is that they interview each other towards the end and it's accompanied by a show-and-tell fashion story featuring their favorite stuff/accessories.They decided to interview rich and famous people for this book, which looks like a cross between a hard cover coffee table book and Interview magazine. No missing or damaged pages, no creases or tears, no underlining or highlighting of text, and no writing in the margins. The photos are also great [especially those of the photographers], some are included with each interview.
