Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have been busy bees lately! Their fashion empire is taking off and they are taking their high-end line, the Row, to the next level with a New York Fashion Week presentation and a new website!

The ladies chatted with Style.com about launching the website, choosing the design team to create it, the philosophy behind it and more.
They really wanted a simple and sophisticated website, as MK tells Style.com:

We looked at a lot of different Web sites before we started working on our own, and we thought most of them were too loud. We wanted The Row Web …read more

Entertainment Tonight visited the Montreal set of Beatly last week to get an early peek at the modern day fairy tale. They talked to Vanessa Hudgens, who plays the beauty Lindy, Alex Pettyfer, who plays Kyle the beast and Mary-Kate, who plays Kendra the witch!
Mary-Kate says Kendra is a “witch-type” but everything she does is for the good. She’s a strong woman and knows what she wants.
Vanessa says filming the movie is a blast and that Mary-Kate is very sweet. MK has lots of nice things to say about Vanessa and Alex, calling them both great actors.
Beastly will premiere on …read more

Mary-Kate Olsen shared the late night circuit with Ashley, making an appearance on Late Night with Conan O’Brien last night. MK looked gorgeous, but I wished she sat up straight. Conan and MK made fun of her “boho chic” look, chatted about her fashion choices and the recent Influence book launch. MK also plays stylist to Conan and it’s really funny.
I find MK is a lot better at the late night bit than Ashley. She seemed a lot more comfortable on Conan than Ashley did on Letterman.

This is the second time MK has been on Conan. She visited …read more

The New York Times wrote a really well done profile about Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen on their website. You have to register to read it, but it only takes a minute and it’s free to do!
var iamInit = function() {try{initIamServingHandler(420,433,212433,”http://pis.picapp.com/IamProd/Resources/Css/css2.css”)}catch(ex){}}()

The profile covers America’s fascination with the Olsens and celebrities like them–wafer-thin, glamorous fashion icons.

“Symbolically, they are harder to define because they …read more

Here are the videos from Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s appearance on Oprah on Thursday. The show’s themes were young millionaires who turned their passions into fortunes. Oprah covers their movement into the fashion world, what their day to day life is like, how DualStar has changed since they took it over at eighteen, what they eat for breakfast and more.
They talk about the book a lot, which is new and exciting!

What did you think? They covered a lot of the same ground they do in other interviews, but some of it was new and exciting. It was a bit …read more

In honor of their new book, Influence, online bookseller Amazon interviewed authors Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. They chat about how they came up with the idea for Influence, how they chose their interviewees, how they acquired interviews, and how they learned to interview people on the fly!
It’s a great interview that’s all about the book and the creative process behind it. I’m so excited for my copy of the book to arrive!
