I am young, ambitious, and my dreams keep
getting bigger and bigger. Everyday I look for some inspiration and people to
look up to in terms of my career! My recent discovery was the Olsen Twins.
Now,
don’t get me wrong, these ladies have been around the block for years, but I
have never given them a second thought! Then I found out the very stylish
label, the Row is owned by them! At the current age of 25 years, these twins
have achieved way more than the average 25-year-old! Don’t believe me? Check
out these fun facts:
·
The Olsens joined the ranks of the wealthiest
women in the entertainment industry at a young age with an estimated net worth
of US$100 million
·
Their
names and likenesses extended to clothes, books, fragrances, magazines, movies
and posters, with a market share made up mostly of the tween demographic.
·
The
sisters became co-presidents of Dualstar on their 18th birthday in 2004.Upon
taking control of the company, Mary-Kate and Ashley made moves to secure the
future of the company by releasing products that appealed to the teen market,
including home decoration and fragrances. The Dualstar brand has been sold in
more than 3,000 stores in the United States and over 5,300 stores worldwide.
·
As the sisters have matured,
there has been greater interest in their fashion choices, with the New York Times
declaring Mary-Kate a fashion icon
for pioneering her signature (and now popular among celebrities and fans alike)
"homeless" look
·
The
look consists of oversized sunglasses, boots, loose sweaters, and flowing
skirts, with an aesthetic of mixing high-end and low-end pieces.
·
The Olsens have a clothing
line for girls ages 4-14 in Wal-Mart
stores across North America, as well as a beauty line called "Mary-Kate
and Ashley: Real fashion for real girls".
·
The Olsens have also
launched their own couture fashion label, "The Row", named after Savile Row
in London.
·
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.
They are actresses,
fashion designers, and writers. What is there NOT to love about these ladies? “Take
over the world” seems to be the mantra these ladies live by! It would be wise
to try it too!
Say it with me, “Take
over the world. Take over the world. Take over the world. Take over the
world...”
Lots of Love!
