We fell in love with them in the Eighties and Nineties when they played Michelle Tanner on the sitcom, Full House. And even now, though the Olsen Twins (Mary-Kate and Ashley) are twenty-five years old, we still go all mushy when we see them in the re-runs. Like, weren’t they “THE cutest baby” on television?
Of course, the girls have cashed in on their image to become multimillionaires by hawking their own line of clothes and merchandise. And now, the icing on the cake is that they have just been featured on the cover of Vogue’s Best Dressed Special Issue.
What’s truly special about this issue (releases November 15th 2011) is that it’s dedicated to stylish sisters. And while we would have thought Kate and Pippa Middleton should be on the cover, it’s only obvious that Vogue could not get Kate to pose with her sister for the cover (since she is now a Royal) and hence, had to make do with the Olsen sisters as second best. Not that we’re complaining!
To make up for not putting the Middleton sisters on the cover, there is a profile on their style in the magazine. Other famous sisters who have been included in this issue are Beyonce and Solange Knowles and Dakota and Elle Fanning.
Hmmm! There seems to be no mention of the Kardashian sisters (Kim, Khloe and the other one!) or the Hilton sisters (Paris and Nikki)!
And that is very telling about their status in Vogue, isn’t it?
