Style Icons: Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen

7/6/2012

I have to say two of my favorite fashion icons and designers are twin sisters Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen. Not only did I grow up loving them on Full House but I have appreciated watching their style change and develop over the past 10 years. They now are faces to some of my favorite designers, Karl Lagerfeld, Dolce and Gabbana and Badgley Mischka, to name a few. The sisters were recently named Women’s Wear Designer of the year at the CFDA (Council of Fashion Designers of America) for their high end line, The Row, a luxury apparel brand named after London’s historic Savile Row. They were up against many well-known names such as Proenza Schouler and Michael Kors. The sisters also own a t-shirt line called style mint, a contemporary clothing collection Elizabeth and James and design for JCPenney under the label Olsenboye. These two show no signs of slowing down and I look forward to watching their style continue to evolve in the coming years. Check out some of my favorite outfits worn by the sisters below.
