Ashley Olsen Was Born Fashionable?

Ashley Olsen is on the cover of Marie Claire’s September issue, and in it she discusses her and sister, Mary-Kate‘s, innate fashion sense.├é┬á
Says Ashely, “I think you’re either born with a sense of style or you’re not.├é┬á Either you care or you don’t.”
Somehow we doubt that if she hadn’t grown up famous, she’d be rocking the edgy styles she does today. Or even be able to afford them.
The “actress”-turned-designer goes on to say that:

“When we were going to NYU, I think that was the first time we were aware of the power of our personal style.├é┬á Not the power of it, but the result…. Between the big sunglasses and Starbucks cup and big sweaters, the hobo-chic thing, we were more shocked than anything…. Mary-Kate and I are very aware of trends and style, but at the end of the day, we don’t even think twice about it.├é┬á It’s just ‘What do I feel like wearing today, and how do I want to put it together?”

How mature sounding. And she seals the deal by saying: 

“The amount of beautiful things we’ve ruined – not having the patience for a tailor and cutting everything ourselves…My sister once took an Alaia dress of mine and just cut the whole thing, and then was like, ‘I cut it too short.’├é┬á Mary-Kate and I don’t think about fashion as these clean, beautiful objects.├é┬á We just kind of wear it and live in it.”

We shed a tear for that Alaia dress.
