The Olsen twins are celebrating 36 years today, and you can’t possibly think of a moment in your childhood that doesn’t coincide with theirs. But there is more, we have seen them transform from baby actresses, then producers and finally designers and fashion icons – there was a moment in early 2010 when on every prestigious red carpet they expected only their arrival.

Mary-Kate and Ashley are successful entrepreneurs, followed by paparazzi and highly appreciated also for the fashion brand they founded in 2006 The Row, so much so that they received the Council of Fashion Designers Award as designer of the year in 2012 and 2015 while in 2014, 2018 and 2019 for accessories. In October 2012, Mary-Kate and Ashley won the WSJ magazine’s Innovator of the Year award.
