Olsen twins want London style
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s next collection will be inspired by “London street style”.
The 23-year-old twins – who have three clothing lines, The Row, Elizabeth and James and Olsenboye – want to add to the lower-priced juniors range Olsenboye and have been getting ideas from fashion in the UK capital.
Ashley said: “We’re looking to cute little British girls. We’re doing London street style next.”
New York-based Ashley recently visited London to help give her the inspiration she needed and says it’s important to look all over the world for ideas.
She said: “You pay attention to their style and lifestyle and what they do.
“I think it’s about paying attention to the world, and to culture and what’s happening.”
Ashley also revealed she and Mary-Kate make sure they divide their time equally between their three ranges.
She told People magazine: “You know it’s a lot of work. But it’s definitely not hard to keep it straight. It’s just a matter of finding enough time to be able to devote to each brand, really.”
The sisters recently revealed their friends helped them design their debut collection for Olsenboye.
Mary-Kate said: “We’ve been working with our friends who are our age and in art school.”
Ashley added: “They’ve helped out with the art on the web sites and doing the commercials and the videos.”
