Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, born June 13, 1986, in Sherman Oaks, rose to fame as child stars on *Full House*. Despite their early success, including a string of TV movies and a burgeoning brand, their childhood was overshadowed by intense media scrutiny and personal struggles, including their parents’ divorce and the pressures of fame.
By 2004, the twins began to shift their focus from acting to fashion. They co-founded The Row, a luxury fashion brand, which has since gained acclaim for its minimalist, high-quality designs. Despite challenges, such as financial issues and a lawsuit over unpaid internships, The Row remains a respected name in fashion.
Mary-Kate faced serious health issues with anorexia in the mid-2000s, leading to a public battle with the eating disorder. She eventually recovered with treatment and continued to focus on her fashion career.
The twins have navigated significant personal and professional challenges, including the tragic deaths of friends like Heath Ledger and Bob Saget. Their journey from child stars to successful fashion designers highlights their resilience and ability to reinvent themselves.
