One-half of the super-twins; Mary-Kate Olsen is this month’s cover girl for ELLE magazine. She is noted as a style and modern icon and reveals all her secrets about style, clothing lines and inspirations.

 

MK on her style

MK on her and her sister Ashley’s clothing lines, The Row and Elizabeth and James: “I think more of my energy goes in to Elizabeth and James, [The Row is] Ashley’s baby.”

MK on her style icons: “Edie Sedgwick and Brigitte Bardot.”

MK on what it takes to be a fashion designer: “I have so much more respect for fashion designers now because it’s hard work and never ending. It’s not a movie. You can’t wrap it and go start something else.”

 MK on the fashion industry: “I love playing dress up. I get inspired by old films, weird things. It could just be the person sitting across from me or it could be a full Victorian costume. What I find odd though is that a weekly [magazine] will come out describing my outfit as a fashion disaster, while the fashion industry actually respects what I wear.” 

Here is a little preview of the interview with Mary-Kate:

Arti Hello World, I am a second-year journalism student in Toronto. I love investigating western and foreign culture and finding out the endless possibilities with living and fashion. People say it's my blood to be cheap, but I use it as a tool to be a smart-shopper.
