After 24 years of growing up in front of the American public, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen now occupy an influential position in the fashion world — and in the September issue of Harper’s Bazaar the Olsen sisters open up about their successful clothing label, their dream client, and how their mother taught them to dress when they were little.

“I’d love to get Michelle Obama in the Row,” Ashley says. “The simple suits and things. It’s all made in America, so why not?”

“Remember that crazy time when all of us young girls were being followed?” Ashley says. Now that they have both moved to New York full-time, we see them less. “We’re either at home or here at the studio,” Mary-Kate notes. “I think they got bored of us.”

“When we were growing up, our mother taught us never to have your belly button exposed,” says Mary-Kate. “We’ve always been attracted to longer— “Layers, silhouettes,” Ashley says, finishing her sentence. Read the entire interview here

My fave: very Robin Hood!

The August issue of Bazaar contains a “Fashion Olympics” spread by Peter Lindbergh featuring Lucy Liu. These images have gotten much controversy from the public, stating that this is mockery of the Olympic games. Since the games are in China, the photographer choose Queens born Lucy Liu as the star of his spread, which has made many people unhappy. Some say the photospread is dumb, using a movie star to convey the emotions of an athlete while wearing Louboutin heals and holding $3100 Gucci bags. I happen to disagree, I think these images are an ode to the Olympic games and actually pay homage to the athletes who dedicate their lives to sports. Obviously, the shoot was staged, and wearing heals while running races is impossible, that’s why you have to look beyond the pretty pics and realize that the photographer was making a statement.

What do you indies think? Mockery or Homage?

Thanks Jezebel for the pics
