When asked about who gets to visit the studio and preview his clothes before his infamous fashion shows, Kal has this to say:

Last season it was the Olsen twins, who are divine, talented, and so clever. I love the Olsen twins. But “celebrities” I don’t know well, I prefer not to see them in the studio before the show. Editors are used to fittings and unfinished things. But it’s different if the “celebrity” is a close friend.

We all know that Karl and Ash and MK are quite close, so it’s nice to see him give the girls public recognition.
