Mary-Kate & Ashley in the Irish Independent

The Irish Independent published a nice article about Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen and their current fashion projects today. It doesn’t say anything new (except that Ashley had a cold during fashion week!), but it’s really nice to see the girls get coverage for their projects.

They’re respected in the fashion industry:

“The Olsens certainly have more style credibility than the other American starlets of their generation,” says Perushka DeZoysa, a buyer for Selfridges. “The collection covers a lot of bases, from amazing plume vests to comfy trousers. And really, it was a very good way for us to tap into the Olsen magic.”

They are self-deprecating:

As Ashley heads off to a design meeting in her towering stilettos, I remark that it’s a wonder she can walk in them. “Oh, I’m pretty skilled,” she boasts before giggling. “Watch, now I’ll wipe out in them as soon as I walk outside. I’ll call and let you know if I fall. Actually, you’ll probably read about it in the paper if it happens. Depending on who’s waiting outside, you might even see a picture.”
