Small, squared and without edge, fine with havana lenses or with large bars or even rounded, consistent and totally black? Sunglasses were and definitely are an essential accessory for the Olsen, who always wear them as good celebrities to protect themselves from paparazzi shots and the bright lights of the city and the Fashion Week's front row. Their love for the sun-screens was born at an early age: the small, black and oval sunnies worn in "Two Twins in Australia" is unforgettable and is now back in fashion.

The tank top is an iconic 90’s item, and contains the essence of that period  in itself in fashion terms: the minimum effort paid for the maximum result. Mary-Kate and Ashley wore tank tops throughout their childhood as style queend of the last millennium. To date, the tank top is definitely not the garment they wear the most, but in summer the simple charm of a white tank top with tailored cut still seduces them, in memory of the old times, yet with a stronger boy-ish flare.

The twins are two "petite" size beauties and honor their 157 cm with a clever play of sartorial cuts and wise-applied lengths, heels and volumes to calibrate their silhouette. If in the 90' the miniskirts and low-rise pants were for them essential elements as seen in "Twins on the Road", today skirts and long dresses are a must for them, especially on official occasions. But they didn’t see it growing up, they actually loved them since childhood.

The strength of two twins lies in the indissoluble bond that connects them to each other, and how could the Olsen express it if not with outfits? From the first professional moments of their life to the present day, Mary Kate and Ashley usually showed up in coordinated looks. With co-ord ensembles, total black, color block or mathing colors looks and details, the life of the Full House twins is costellated by a very long series of coordinated outfits. And even now that they are grown women, entrepreneurs and (certainly) very different, what binds them is also expressed through fashion.
