Mary-Kate Olsen has declared that she and her twin sister Ashley hate being called the \u2018Olsen twins\u2019 and she finds the label \u201cdisappointing\u201d because they have achieved so much as fashion designers. The 37-year-old sisters have worked together since they were toddlers, starring in the sitcom \u2018Full House\u2019 and making movies as a pair before starting their own fashion company and taking a step back from show business \u2013 and Mary-Kate says they both dislike the label they have been given since they were child stars.<\/p>\n
She told the Financial Times: \u201cThere\u2019s certain words. Like referring to my sister and me as \u2018the Olsen twins\u2019 or \u2018The Twins\u2019 or \u2018The Girls.\u2019 We\u2019re 37 years old. We have had very interesting lives. We work together. We\u2019re business partners. We\u2019re sisters.\u201d \u201cI think that\u2019s the first thing that comes to mind. How many other people are called \u2018the girls\u2019 when they\u2019re designing? I think that\u2019s where the disappointment comes from. And that\u2019s why we feel like the product should just speak for itself.\u201d However, she is adamant they have used their past experiences to inform them as they built their hugely successful company.<\/p>\n
Mary-Kate added: \u201cTo be able to take from our past experiences, whether it was from the beginning of our life, or career, or life today, has definitely been beneficial.\u201d She also went on to explain why the sisters have stayed away from social media and don\u2019t have personal Instagram accounts, reports aceshowbiz.com. Mary-Kate added: \u201cWe\u2019re just private people \u2026 There was a conversation [about Instagram]. It wasn\u2019t very long, and it ended up working out quite well. Ashley and I are not on Instagram. \u201cSo that\u2019s the story of Instagram.\u201d<\/p>\n
The pair are so private Ashley even managed to keep her first pregnancy a secret until months after she had given birth. She is believed to have welcomed her first child \u2013 a son \u2013 with husband Louis Eisner, 35, around May in New York. The news was reported by TMZ in August with the outlet suggesting the couple named their boy Otto and they were \u201cecstatic\u201d about becoming parents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
