The fashion darlings continue to redefine the '90s aesthetic; From their brand, The Row, to the sisters' private wardrobe, everything is reflected in accessories, proportions and attention to detail.
How Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen created a charter for contemporary minimalism.
(Mary-Kate Olsen and (Ashley Olsen) first rose to fame on the small screen in the late 1980s.
Their child star status was quickly cemented when they co-starred in the role of Michelle on Full House.
As teenagers, their coming-of-age films delivered certain stereotypical '90s style inspirations - such as velvet headbands and halter tops - which in turn had a profound influence on today's Morgan De Toi puffle-sleeve tops and platform platform shoes found on Depop.
But it's a far cry from The Row, the one-of-a-kind New York brand founded by the Olsen sisters in 2006 that has amassed a huge following on social media.
Since their foray into fashion, the sisters have created extravagant flip-flops, wavy hair and the prestigious "banana bag" (which their younger sister, actress Elizabeth Olsen, wears almost 24 hours a day).
The sisters also made no secret of their devotion to all-black ensembles, giant sunglasses and birkenstock flip-flops.
Although they are just standing alone in the streets of New York, they also brought a large number of exquisite and chic memes, which triggered the unswerving follow of fashion editors everywhere.
The Row, whose name pays homage to London's Savile Row, is known for its crisp cuts and meticulous attention to detail, combined with its austere early nineties aesthetic.
Today, The Row continues to reinvigorate work wear and is constantly raising the bar on its pieces. Thanks to their tried-and-true recognition, few things trigger a surge of Instagram traffic as quickly as The twin sisters endorsing The Row's latest "Bare" flip-flops or their slouchy "Bindle" handbag.
In anticipation of The Row's Fall/Winter 2020 New York Fashion Week, here are four master classes on minimalist dressing (Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen).
- Highlight color
When they appeared at the Council of Fashion Designers of America Awards in June 2019, the sisters took their long-standing love of all-black looks one step further.
However, they added an unexpected accessory -- a simple turquoise clutch -- to give their look a modern twist.
- Clean details
Carbon black silk thread and champagne tone for emphasis, will never go out of style combination. As the sisters showed in 2017, this, combined with extremely light makeup and loose hair to create a flowing look, is just another tailored look.
Copy and paste this set directly into your private closet after work.
- Minimalist accessories
In June 2018, the Olsen sisters gave a great demonstration of accessories. Both wore wide belts with gold embellishment and carried their own "Bindle" bags.
What can we learn? Big accessories will do for any occasion.
- Playful materials
In July 2016, the twin sisters took it to the next level. This time, Mary-Kate Olsen carried a deep red alligator print clutch that matched ASHLEY's heels.
With a faux fur clutch accessory, the Olsen sisters show how easy it is to take your look to the next level by mixing and matching materials.
