Mary Kate olsen is known for her quirky sense of fashion and was one of the pioneers of the boho look. She has the quality to look effortlessly stylish in whatever ensemble she throws on.
Mary Kate and her twin Ashley began their career at just six months playing the part of baby Michelle Tanner on US TV show 'Full House'. Sinve then the girls have amassed a multi million dollar fortune through countless business ventures including films, a clothes line, books and fragrances. These days however it is mostly her outfit choices that have Mary kate hitting the headlines.
The New York Times has declared Mary-Kate a fashion icon for pioneering her signature (and now popular among celebrities and fans alike) "homeless" look. The style, sometimes referred to as Boho-chic or bohemian-bourgeois, is similar to that of Bohemian chic. The look consists of oversized sunglasses, boots, loose sweaters, and flowing skirts all with an aesthetic of mixing high end pieces with low end.
Layering is a key part of Mary Kate's day time look as she sports baggy t-shirt dresses, cardigans leather jackets and scarves in different colours and fabrics usually with a giant bag in tow. However the actress can still glam up for parties and awards ceremonies. Usually in vintage piece Mary Kate really works the red carpet, often looking like a 1940s icon.
Along with her sister Mark Kate has been tapped as the faces of upscale fashion line Badgley Mischka in 2006, in an attempt to gain credibility in the fashion industry. The pair have also launched their own new couture fashion label "The Row" named after the famous Savile Row of London. The pair have also started a new line for The Row, entitled "Elizabeth & James", named after their siblings.
As well as her more dressed down look Mary Kate has a vast collection of expensive designer pieces, including a vintage Chanel bag that is worth over $40,000. Worried that they could be stolen or destroyed she has decided to insure her wardrobe for more than $2 million.
New York stylist Karen Berenson hit the nail on the head when she said: "Mary Kate is the real thing, a fashion role model for a generation entering adulthood."
