Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen recently sat down with The Telegraph to talk about where they see their fashion business going in the next ten years, even though, apparently, they hate questions like that. Mary-Kate said, “My answers are always sarcastic to this. I always say taller.” But these young women actually do have plans to expand their fashion business quite a bit over the next few years, including a move into luxury lifestyle. More
