It Takes Two, focus on the Olson Twins
“We’re lucky [working hard] comes quite naturally for us. We don’t need so much time to sit and think and ponder. A sentence that sums up these two incredibly smart and savy Hollywood and Vogue'a own up and coming Icons, Mary Kate and Ashley. The iconic Olson Twins!!!
"When we were younger, being in the public eye was almost part of our role and responsibility – to set the trends at that time or be ahead of fashion."
“We just want to help women feel however they want to feel. Every once in a while, we want to change our perfume or our haircut; we want to wear heels or flats. We just like to switch it up,”
The twins never considered themselves actresses, what they mainly have in talent is fashion and have a huge attachment to branding. Just recently turning 31 in June, they still command recognition even though they quit acting together when they were 18.
In 1987, at the age of six months, the twins were cast in the role of Michelle Tanner on the ABC sitcom Full House. They began filming at nine months old. In order to comply with child labor laws that set strict limits on how long a child actor may work, the sisters took turns playing the role. The Olsens continued to portray Michelle throughout the show's run, which concluded in 1995.
They are masters of movement and living their life fully.
The Olsens have also launched their own couture fashion label, The Row, named after Savile Row in London.
In earlier years wanting to break from acting, in 2007 they launched Elizabeth & James, a contemporary collection inspired by many of their unique vintage finds and pieces in their personal wardrobes.
They have also released a women's clothing line for J.C. Penney, called Olsenboye, and a T-shirt line called "StyleMint".
In 2008, the sisters published the book Influence, a compilation of interviews with many of the most prominent people in the field of fashion.
In August 2013, the twins launched a new fashion line in Oslo, Norway.
The Olsens were first named Womensewear Designer of the Year by the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) for The Row in 2012. They received the award again in 2015.
i.e.: CFDA also named the Olsens Accessories Designer of the Year in 2014 for their work with The Row.
This blog is about living life fully and movement and being authentic in your own skin. Creativity takes many forms and even as glamorous as the entertainment industry can be to so many. Fashion and glamour are identical twins. Like the Olsons!!! Cheers. Live-Live-Live!!!
