With high-profile actress Mary-Kate Olsen being seen everywhere, designers have been flocking to the diminutive fashion dynamo to showcase their wares. The little pixie is like a true living mannequin, and designers love it.
Everyone seems to be talking about her latest marketing of a designers’ product, as she’s been seen and photographed everywhere with the studded Alexander Wang handbag. Talk about a great marketing campaign, as the paparazzi love to follow Mary-Kate, and for every recent picture taken, the Alexander Wang handbag gets some publicity.
This isn’t the first time for Mary-Kate or Ashley though, as Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez outfitted them with their designs.
Even so, Mary-Kate does seem the favorite go-to girl, for fashion handbags especially. Now if she could only get rid of that Yoko Ono look.
The Alexander Wang handbag is due to be released in the fall of 2009.
