Mariska Hargitay: Karastan Rugs 2007 Statement Maker
Each year, Karastan rugs chooses someone well-known in the entertainment world to represent their company. This year Mariska Hargitay is the 2007 Karastan statement-maker. The Karastan website has this to say about her and their choice to pick her as their representative:
- “To millions of “Law and Order: SVU” fans who watch her every week, she’s NYPD Detective Olivia Benson. But when Mariska Hargitay steps off the set, she is the real-life wife of writer-actor Peter Hermann, mother of newborn son, August, social activist and fashion icon. All of these qualities add up to Mariska Hargitay being the newest Karastan “Statement Maker,” featured in our 2007 national advertising campaign. Her charisma, innate sense of glamour, authenticity and humanitarianism parallel many of the same traits and characteristics of Karastan consumers. In an exclusive interview with Karastan, the Emmy and Golden Globe winning actress exhibits the inner strength and integrity of her TV alter ego, but also reveals a sunny and sophisticated domestic side. Mariska Hargitay knows how to make a statement. Her own.”
