The Olsen twins are hoping to spread a little "Influence."

Mark-Kate and Ashley Olsen are working on a coffee table book about fashion, called "Influence," that a division of Penguin Group (USA) will release in the fall.

According to a statement issued Wednesday by Penguin, the book will include "exclusive photographs of Ashley and Mary-Kate from world renowned photographer Rankin, and a wide variety of other never-before-seen materials and interviews from Mary-Kate and Ashley's personal collections."

The Olsens will be writing about such artists and designers as Bob Colacello, Terry Richardson and Jack Pierson.

"Mary-Kate and I have filled `Influence' with the most interesting, challenging, creative people we know — the ones who helped pave the way for us and our generation," Ashley Olsen said in a statement.

"Ashley and I interviewed the people who have inspired us, with the hope that they will inspire and teach others," Mary-Kate Olsen said in a statement.
