president two of the most influential young fashion designers in America please welcome mary-kate and Ashley Olsen of all we we I don't know why we don't hang out more I adore the two and and and you're just like such an amazing story you're like just so successful and what it what an amazing career that y'all have had and continue to have you've been a long one so far yeah I mean you started it like six months old or something I on full house they're six months old and then from there just kind of but don't they usually get rid of the babies and then just recast over kids Holloway I mean that's not where that you stayed the kids yeah Andy do you remember like what's your earliest member memory of that there's quite a few I'm not sure if they're memories or old footage right but I really remember small things like being in a shower with Dave I was talking about the show I wish I had done a suit come save my childhood because I have no memory of my child at least you have that you know and then and then you end up being like very very successful fashion designers which I like I said I love your clothes I wear them all the time on the show and when I was campaigning to be on the cover of Oprah's magazine y'all got in touch with us women wanted to dress me for the cover of Oh which I was very flattered the main thing we haven't framed in the office I have it framed too that was what I was wearing on the cover of oh we were so excited were such big fans of you and it was just really exciting for us to make something for you well thanks so much yeah I loved I mean I loved everything I wore I think three different we did three different covers and every cover was was your outfit and and you have three different lines is that right you have the row which is what I'm wearing we have the row Elizabeth and James and Olsen boy cuz you started I mean your company is is you know a billion dollar company and you started it like aged ten being in these meetings did you know what was going on at that age I think we knew what was going on but I think it was just about listening and understanding and learning the process it's a completely different language you know learning about finances and branding and there's so many different elements to the process to creating something that it was our parents really just felt strongly about us being in those meetings whether we really understood it or not that we started to understand the language of rights the business but most people wouldn't actually get involved you'd sit back and obviously you've done very well and you just kind of coast and but what made you get into fashion what was the the impetus for like I'm going to create a line we done it when we were ten and it was it was once again for mass and was for kids and that was extremely successful then we decided to go away go to school move to New York and take a step back and figure out what we really wanted to do and that was still something I think we were both extremely interested in but we wanted to do it with full control and we wanted to do it our way right so when we were younger we always took adult clothing and cut it down to two bits I said ass right we sort of understood fit and quality and and you have different styles but when you were growing up you were dressed alike a lot because you had to be dressed alike right that they kind of or did you want to be dressed alike it wasn't like but different it was always a life but like the same dress for red or black or where I was the girly one and she was this 41 so it was you know was in essence it wasn't by choice I don't think I think right you know as when we sort of better six 15 16 probably 12 and 13 we were really doing it ourselves all right we have to we have to take a break and we come back I since y'all are so kind you got me things I got you something as well we'll be back I don't see myself with anybody else that's for sure so awesome boy is the line that's more affordable I guess for it right yeah that's a junior at JC Penney and it's from you know $20 to $50 and the fashion show oh yeah did that so you did do that yeah yeah is Harris before no no this was in New York City okay and JCPenney has just been incredible partners they they really have let us kind of have full control of the branding and the clothes and have it's been an amazing collaboration that's great yeah you can do cuz your clothes are so cool they're so like just they're beautifully done and that that they're affordable and Penny's now that's really great and your mom was very stylish growing up right is that where you were sort of influenced by her definitely I think you know that's where big glasses came from definitely the baby since there are the layering yeah uh-huh I do seem to you hang out halt all the time together are you together as much as we think or we just see photos are y'all best friends yeah probably more than everyone thinks I know we're together every day probably from 9:00 a.m. until 12:00 at night sometimes you don't live together no would you want to live together with that that'd be too much you know we've started thinking about it again recently may wheat we thought our furniture would go really well together and we didn't go there some chairs asking case cuz you would you would have I mean you obviously I know you you say you're somewhat different but you have you you kind of not at the same time you're connected in such a way that you think probably and and and think of the same thing at the same time and when you're a part you have the thing that that twins talk about where you can you know if something's happening with her if somebody's heard or not if something think they just you get that feeling I don't know what how to really explain and I definitely feel it and and also you know where were mirror twins so we also kind of go like this so one of us is you know is really good the other ones maybe not so good it's just this kind of this balancing is that good so you help the other person when they're down there yeah I think so well you both have really great attitudes just what from what the things I've read that you've you've written about yourselves and just the kind of things you explore in life and your attitudes about everything and just amazing and positive and scandal-free and that's
