Ashley Olsen Wants to Quit Fashion
Ashley Olsen is a classic example of why celebrities should not be entitled to their own fashion line–just because they can.
In July of 2009, Ashley Olsen was quoted in an interview saying that she’s giving up acting for fashion.
She told Hamptons Magazine: “I used to be in the entertainment industry. And now I feel passionate about the fashion industry. I understand what it takes to make a brand and to have an eye for product that sells.”
It’s only been a few months since she switched to becoming a full time fashion designer and Ashley says that now she doesn’t know how long she’s going to stick it out in the fashion industry, according to the NY Fashion Magazine.
Sure it was cute when she and her sister had their own line of practically everything that a pre-teen girl would buy. From hair straighteners with their twin faces on them to glittery jeans–that was all fun and games. Now that Ashley’s had some experience dealing with the real high fashion industry with their new adult line “The Row,” Ashley said she doesn’t like how cutthroat the industry really is.
Ashley told NY Fashion Magazine:
“(In the fashion world) everyone is just really looking out for themselves. I don’t know if I’ll be designing this collection forever. A couple of years from now, I’m sure I’ll want to do something else, and I’m not going to shy away from that.
“What if I just want to be an artist, or if I want to go back to acting? Which is not in the cards, but what if I wanted to do that?”
What a flip flopper.
If you look at her new adult line, it’s really altogether boring and obviously trying to be adult. You can tell that they made a strenuous effort to step out of their pink little girl shells and tried to come up with “grown up” clothing. They’re really not up to par with real, professional designers. The following are some pieces from Ashley’s adult line. Check ‘em out before Ashley throws in the towel:
Her pieces all have a weird Gothic yet professional flare to them–and that combination doesn’t really work.
