“We were 18 years old, and I think what we did know was that we wanted to take that time to take a break from what we were previously doing and to explore things that interested us, and explore what life has to offer,” Ashley explained.
The girls have claimed to be private people, not wanting to be in the public eye. In fact, they would prefer if their names and faces weren’t attached to their fashion label.
“We didn’t want to be in front of it, we didn’t necessarily even want to let people know it was us,” Ashley added. “It was really about the product, to the point where we were like: Who could we get to front this so that we don’t have to?”
Due to their private lifestyle, that’s why the twins declined to be in the Netflix reboot, Fuller House. Instead, they choose to focus on their clothing line, Mary-Kate claiming the two are “perfectionists.”
“I think the reason we do fashion is to constantly try to fix our imperfections. And you have next season to do that. But it’s also our job to find every imperfection in there to make sure that we’re constantly pushing ourselves and training our eyes, and making sure everyone is served. Just evolving and learning.”
