Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen recently sat down for an interview with Net-a-Porter's The Edit to discuss their fashion line Elizabeth and James. Here are some of the highlights:
Mary Kate, on her marriage to Oliver Sarkozy:
“I think we’re lucky [working hard] comes quite naturally for us. We don’t need so much time to sit and think and ponder. But then I have a husband, two step-kids and a life; I have to go home and cook dinner. I ride horses on the weekends. You find the thing that helps you relax and if you don’t have it, you have to look for it. Or you get burned out and then you’re not productive.”
Mary Kate, on where their passion for fashion developed:
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 would take adult clothing and cut it down to our size, change the proportions. I think from a young age we understood fit in a very different way because we’re so petite.”
Ashley, on keeping a low profile:
“We don’t dive into that world [of social media]; we don’t have Instagram or Facebook. So we’ve never been connected to our customers or our fans in that way. We’ve stayed quite sheltered.”
