Quotes by Ashley Olsen
It was almost like I was in the army: school, work, homework, fly to New York, get in at 2 in the morning, do a morning show at 5 A.M., then another one at 7, then a radio interview at 10, you know?
It doesn't mean I'm not interested in Hollywood. I like the way it operates; I like the people who are involved and the sense of possibility. But if I ever get back in, it's not going to be as an actress.
I think The Row skews toward an older market - an educated consumer who's been shopping for years.
When we were going to NYU, I think that was the first time we were aware of the power of our personal style. Not the power of it, but the result of it.
I don't know if it's because of the way we grew up - we just don't like talking about ourselves or talking about what we're doing... It's not really our approach.
Mary-Kate and I are very aware of trends and style, but at the end of the day, we don't even think twice about it. It's just, 'What do I feel like wearing today, and how do I want to put it together?'
The main thing we thought was lacking in the luxury market were basic pieces that could break up an outfit so you didn't feel like you were totally dressed in one designer. You could add some ease and comfort, tone it down.
Our core business are those pieces that you really want to have accessible to you but you don't really want to worry about, like a great white button-down.
