Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen urge people to put some respect on their names.
The two are now fashion moguls, founding The Row, and Mary-Kate recently told the Financial Times, they’re ready to move on from being looked at as child stars. The two famously being the youngest on “Full House.”
“There’s certain words. Like referring to my sister and I as ‘the Olsen twins’ or ‘The Twins’ or ‘The Girls,’” she told the publication. “We’re 37 years old. We have had very interesting lives. We work together. We’re business partners. We’re sisters. I think that’s the first thing that comes to mind.”
“How many other people are called ‘the girls’ when they’re designing? I think that’s where the disappointment comes from. And that’s why we feel like the product should just speak for itself,” she added.
Mary-Kate also discussed why the pair are hesitant to do interviews, as they don’t want to be depicted “wrongly.”
"We’re just private people. We’ve done interviews our whole life and, no offense, but I don’t know how this conversation is going to go. So, after years of that, you just choose to stop talking to people if it’s not going to translate,” she said.
For now, Mary-Kate said they wish their lives to remain private as they focus on The Row.
