Retiring (From Acting)
Filed under: Fashion Smashion > Olsen Twins
Didn't the Olsen twins retire from acting years ago?
Well, MK's been dabbling in the thespian world, with roles on Weeds and in little-seen indie movies. But Ashley is done with that acting shiz!
In the new issue of VMAN magazine, Ash opens up about her life, her oh-so-important sense of style, and her "career".
So, what's she got in store for the future? More fashion and less acting.
Says the 22-year-old, “I’ve been transitioning from acting as a kid to doing something that I’m choosing for myself-to be part of the fashion industry. That’s what I want for my future. It has nothing to do with my past, nothing to do with anyone else’s agenda. And I followed my heart the whole way."
And here comes the burn to those "celebs" with their own clothing brands - as Ashley has a real fashion line, or so she claims.
Olsen says, "But the outside perception is very different because you do have celebrity brands, people like Jessica Simpson and Kimora Lee Simmons, and those are celebrity brands because they have their names on it."
As for Mary-Kate Olsen, she's not giving up her hopes of finally becoming a good actress.
Ashley reveals that her fashion line, The Row, "is really something that I’m doing while my sister still wants to focus on acting. She’s my partner in The Row, but she trusts me with the everyday. I mean, I see her like ten times a day.”
It's a good thing we still have our Olsen DVD collection. Time to go watch Holiday in the Sun again!
I'd feel bad for them cause they suck so much, but I just can't bring myself to do that.
YES
she has studied design, unlike the majority of 'celebrities' that just stick their names on clothes lines. it all depends how she goes about doing it.
sucks.they are over long time ago
OOHHH—She'll be back, when she is no longer releveant she'll start acting agin…in twin porn I hope
HA! Holiday in the Sun. Winning London OWNS!
they suck. these are girls who had everything done for them and so now they get to 'choose' what they do and they give no one credit. the only thing they were good at was allowing people to license their name so that now they can 'make' decisions.
This shit is so old perez. ur ridick.
She looks like angelina jolie.
OMG that is very unflattering pic of her! I demand my 5 seconds back! YUCK
She looks like one of the puppets from The Dark Crystal.
jh
That's got to be the best pic I've seen of either in years.
Are U Serious Ashley How Longs It Really Been Since U Acted Anyway I Guesse It Make U Say Iam So Fawkin Specia I Retirel…Loved Full House Back In The Day..
i LOVED Holiday in the Sun (a.k.a. the debut of MEGAN FOX)!!!!! hahaha. nice one Perez.
Re: The Kath –
OMG that's so funny! I knew she was a Gelfling!
agenda? NOBODY WANTS TO HIRE THEM!!! they go on auditions all the fucking time and they suck so bad that no one wants them ruining their movies!!! agenda my ass.
my favourite was Passport to Paris
whatever you're still the kid from billboard dad
OMG…………."WHEN" did she ever act?????? HAHAHAHAHA They could NEVER ACT! It was awful!
wow. how deep of her.
fashion.
Angelina Jolie wore a trench coat from MK's line!
Kimora Lee Simmons is a celebrity????? Oh yeah, and Baby Phat must be here maiden name. What a little douche.
i actually kind of respect this. the acting thing was chosen for her when she was six months old. she's choosing a different path now that she's an adult. I don't think it's something to be down on.
Good, they are terrible actresses.
Oh no! who are the razzie's gonna nominate?
Oh wow, what a big fucking loss.
they both have a great sense of style…..and they have built a multi million dollar empire……..i say go for it. they are awesome
oh i want to buy some jessica simpson wear! daisy dukes!!!
wtf Kimora Lee Simmons is in charge of Baby Phat and on her show u see her doing everything for it, thats her main thing.. Ashley is totally wrong
Sad!
It's my favourite olsen!
Uhm Kimora Lee Simmons? Really? Ha no ! Kimora was Creative Director of Phat Fashions and now is is CEO. She didnt just put her name on that shit. Plus Baby Phat and Phat Farm are hugely popular unlike her ugly, expensive "fashion line"
They are wack anyway. Who cares!?!
Does she have a design degree? Somehow it seems the reason she has a line at all is because she is a celebrity.
Trying to create drama where none exists Perez? She didn't burn anybody she gave a definition to what a celebrity brand is. You're an idiot.
She's delusional. Good thing she already has a gazillion million dollars. Hopefully she won't snort it all away or something. I don't know why she lumped Kimora in there with poser celeb designers. She actually knows a thing or two about fashion and actively does run a company. Can she say the same?
Re: The Kath – OMG she totally does lol.
good for them, they cant act anyway, the only thing i give them props for is the fact that the actually design their own clothes. but i dont know how long tht will last since their clothes are geared towards 11, 12 & 13 year olds. pretty soon the new genertion of thoes ages wont know who they are.
thats lame
i fucking LOVE that movie! Megan Fox as Brianna Wallace = Awesome
U ADS ARE CREEPY PEREZ I CAN'T GO ON THIS SITE WITH OUT MY FREINDS LOOKING AT ME WERIDLY
Kimora Lee Simmons is the creative director and CEO of baby phat and has been running it for years and transformed it into a hugely popular brand. Ashley Olsen is a 22 year old who has the means to indulge her every whim (I like fashion, I'll start my own label!). The row is a line of overpriced glorified t shirts, and while I'm sure that fashion is the most important thing to her RIGHT NOW, she should think before dismissing a woman who has spent over 10 years running a universally recognizable clothing label.
Hey Perez…How is YOUR line of clothes doing ? Hypocrite !!!
Shame, because she was the really talented one. hahahahahaHAHAHAHAHAHAH
