The twins turned their iconic style into a fashion empire Their luxe label The Row started in a college dorm

THEIR EMPIRE The pair founded luxury brand The Row in 2006, and later added contemporary line Elizabeth and James to their portfolio. However, in 2018, they closed down their Elizabeth and James stores and in-house operations.

The brand’s perfumes are still available, thanks to a partnership with Kohl’s

LOVE ON THE DOWN LOW While Mary-Kate is still married to husband Olivier, 50, Ashley has been dating New York artist Louis Eisner, 31, for the past three years.

‘They’ve turned into these weird hermits who scurry around New York in oversized coats and glasses,’ tells OK!’s insider. ‘They openly spurn fans and the media, and come across as unapproachable to the very people who made them household names.’

Meanwhile, their sister’s star power is currently on the rise and she wants to keep it that way. ‘Elizabeth is very media savvy and doesn’t want to be tarnished with the same brush,’ adds the insider. ‘She’s moved to LA to start her own life, and doesn’t even see them when they’re visiting from New York.’ TOO MUCH, TOO SOON? Having made their acting debut at the tender age of nine months on Full House, Mary-Kate and Ashley’s rise to fame and sudden retreat from the spotlight has often been dubbed as a classic case of too much, too soon. The sisters became co-presidents of company Dualstar on their 18th birthday in 2004, but gave up making movies together that same year. ‘I don’t like to be the centre of attention anymore,’ Ashley later said.

It wasn’t the easiest transition for the child stars, with Mary-Kate treated for an eating disorder in 2004, and both she and Ashley ended up leaving New York University before graduating. ‘We’ve had ups and downs,’ Ashley previously acknowledged. ‘We just
