Mary-kate & Ashley Olsen — WWD, 2016

“We’ve always worked around the clock. We’ve been working since we were nine months old,” said Mary-Kate Olsen of herself and her sister Ashley Olsen.

In August, the 29-year-old designers took back the license of their contemporary brand Elizabeth and James from Los Angeles-based Jaya Apparel Group, which had held it since its inception in 2007. The first collections under the Olsens’ purview are pre-fall 2016 and fall 2016, which is being shown to retailers this month during New York, Paris and Milan markets and to the press in March.
