In a brand-new interview with ELLE UK, the twins spoke candidly about their many years in the business – specifically Ashley, who revealed what led her to ultimately hang up her acting shoes for good.

“We worked non-stop until we were 18. Then we decided to take a break and go to school — and that was when we decided to question whether we would carry on in entertainment,” she told the magazine (via The Huffington Post).

“It was time to step behind the process. I wanted to work on other things. It doesn’t mean I’m not interested in Hollywood, I like the way it operates and the people who are involved and the sense of possibility. But if I ever do get back in, it’s not going to be as an actress,” she said.

Ashley’s twin sister Mary-Kate also admitted that she no longer has the acting bug, despite a recent string of roles in everything from Weeds to Beastly.

“[It] just felt right to move away [from the spotlight],” she said.

Mary-Kate & Ashley, who are the brains behind the luxury fashion line The Row, rose to fame on the ’80s sitcom Full House, in which they played the youngest member of the Tanner family, Michelle. Their last film together was the 2004 bomb New York Minute.

Their younger sister, Elizabeth, is currently a budding movie star, and will appear this Friday on the big screen in Silent House.

“We were called eccentric and eclectic,” Mary-Kate and Ashley told Vogue. “But we were just two California girls trying to dress for the New York winter.”

The trio posed for a family photo during the NYLON & AX Armani Exchange Private Dinner. The visibly taller Elizabeth wore a black top and floral-printed skirt, while sisters Mary-Kate and Ashley wore a black leather jacket and red buttondown, respectively.

Elizabeth is currently receiving a ton of Oscar buzz for her role in the cult movie Martha Marcy May Marlene, which hits theaters in limited release on Oct. 21.

The twins’ loose fitting fashion has been described as hobo-chic and at times maternal, but they still keep taking chances when it comes to clothes. Mary-Kate and Ashley also have an fashion line of their own. 

They named their fashion collection The Row after the famous shopping street in central London called Savile Row. “The first piece that we really explored was a t-shirt, and from there we’ve just expanded on all different categories,” the twins said of the origins of their line in a documentary-style online video posted by Bing back in October.

The pair tried to avoid the paparazzi, but the shutter bugs still caught the two getting into a car together. Could it be love?

The actress-fashion designer called it quits with her Hangover star beau, Justin Bartha in March, after dating for more than two years.

Outside of her love life, the fashion mogul and her sister Mary-Kate Olsen are on fire, launching a shopping website called StyleMint.com in July. The pair have also joined forces to launch their own fashion label, The Row.

Mary-Kate stepped out in a vintage floor-length, long-sleeved orange gown for the big event. The design included a ruffled bottom, and was paired with thick jewelry. The hobo-chic actress also let her hair loose and wore neutral make-up shades. Meanwhile, her twin sister Ashley also went for a vintage style, stepping out in a black Dior gown with billowing white sleeves. While her sister chose to wear her hair down, Ashley swept her hair up but did decide to go with neutral shades of makeup.

As for the Fanning sisters…

Dakota wore a flowing Valentino design that was accented with delicate flowers, but she chose not to wear any jewelry. The actress straight ironed her hair and went for an au natural look when it came to makeup. 

Her younger sister Elle pulled her hair up into a high bun and put on her lipstick for the event. The Somewhere actress chose a Valentino Haute Couture black skirt and lace top and paired it with black flats.

This morning, the actress was spotted leaving her New York hotel sporting a bright red suit. Fierce! Her office fashion looks like she’s ready to take charge in the board room. What do you think of the daring outfit?

The fashion mogul and her sister Mary-Kate Olsen have had quite a great week. The twins are set to launch a shopping website called StyleMint.com in July.

Their fashion has defintely taken the world by storm. The first lady, Michelle Obama, donned an Olsen-created skirt on The View –  just weeks after Ashley gushed to Harper’s Bazaar that she’d “love to get” the first lady in one of her designs for clothing line The Row.

Although the weather has warmed up to a comfortable 80-degrees, the famous fashionista was covered head-to-toe in a long skirt and wooly sweater. To complete the ensemble, she wore her hair slicked back and accessorized with a light blue Chanel purse and a string of pearls. 

Last week, Ashley and her twin sis Mary-Kate helped kick off the 2011 Tribeca Film Festival by attending the premiere of the The Union, one of 15 music-theme films that premiered at the event. Outside of their public appearances, the two are said to be working on designing a new line of eye wear (which we’re guessing will be sold on their new fashion site, stylemint.com).

What do you make of the new look? Peep the pics in the gallery, then let us know by tweeting us @CELEBUZZ or hit up our Facebook!

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen helped kick off the festival by attending the premiere of the The Union, one of 15 music-theme films debuting at the event. Tribeca features 90 movies that star celebrities like Whoopi Goldberg, Rainn Wilson, Anna Kendrick, Michael Cera and Denis Leary. There are also music documentaries premiering about rock band Kings of Leon and Ozzy Osbourne.

At The Union premiere, one of the identical twins paired her blood orange baggy trousers with a furry red coat, while the other sister wore a black dress, black pumps and off-white outerwear.

While the Olsen twins have had their claim to fame for some time (i.e. Full House), their little sister Elizabeth Olsen has been making her way to the limelight. The 21-year-old is set to star in three highly anticipated movies, including the horror film Silent House.

It shouldn’t come as a surprise that the Olsen twins prefer New York, but we’re just happy they came out to the West Coast to celebrate their new fashion line!

Last night the fashionistas brought out the likes of Nicole Richie and Emma Roberts for the launch of Textile Elizabeth and James. From what we’ve seen the line is super cute, so we suggest Celebuzz readers go check it out.

Come back and visit LA soon girls!

Us Weekly reports the two have decided to part ways. The magazine reports that the Hangover star had been close to proposing to the Olsen twin in the past few months, but that seems to have gone by the wayside.

Bartha was involved with Hearst heiress Lydia Hearst before meeting Ashley in NYC, and Ashley famously spent time with nightlife and restaurant mogul Scott Sartiano.

A friend tells the magazine: “It’s over.”

Jessica’s company has already earned $750 million in sales this year and it is looking more and more likely that she will be able to wear the billionaire crown with pride. If and when she does hit that billionaire mark, she will join an impressive list of celebs who make up the billionaire’s club.
