Actor, Singer, Socialite, Fashion Designer?!
Forget working your socks off for many years; putting your bloody sweat and tears into every inch of your designs in the vein hope that it might, just might, reach the masses. Because being an accomplished actor or singer means adding Fashion Designer to you CV is a dead cert.
Child star actresses and siblings, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, have been in the public eye since tots. Not content with having their posters plastered over every 13 year old girls wall, their VHS on constant repeat and their books thoroughly thumbed through, they wanted to pursue the only thing they hadn't put their stamp on; fashion.
Their first clothing line for mammoth supermarket ASDA (Wal-Mart), was aimed at youngsters and was unsurprisingly successful...but hardly Haute Couture. Growing up worked to the stars advantage, with developing their own individual styles, along with not one, but two, fashion lines: Elizabeth & James (named after their other siblings) and The Row.
Only two of the many 'entrepreneurs' picking up the sketch book and fabric, does this show fashion design to be a true passion? Or just another way to cash in?
