Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have transcended their child star reputations and have managed to make a name for themselves in the fashion world and this month, the duo stars in The Edit 17 October 2013 issue in a host of neutral fashions. For the cover image, Mary-Kate dons a creamy beige, oversized sweater, while Ashley is in an equally-as-soft-looking off-white sweater and pant combo.
In another shot, the famous siblings don similar all-black looks. Stylist Morgan Pilscher really played up on the twin factor by dressing the girls almost identically. The girls have been capitalizing on their genetic similarity their entire lives, but have emerged more individually in recent years.
What is most notable about the spread is the minimalist fashion the girls are sporting comes from their own label, a fashion favorite entitled 'The Row.' The editorial was photographed by Miguel Riveriego.
