Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s stylist says she influenced their look!

MARY-KATE AND ASHLEY OLSEN’S style is truly iconic: from the oversized sunglasses to the heavy layering, and every Starbucks coffee cup in between.

Now, the woman who started it all has spoken out about their iconic look and how it came about.

Judy Swartz, who styled the Olsen twins in their teenage years and during the early 2000s (when their collective style truly came into its own), has said she is pretty much responsible for the look.

“Well, the layers came from me,” Swartz told Refinery29. “It’s how I dress. It comes from my days of dressing rock stars.”

“I’m pretty petite myself, and I just have always worn big, oversized things to cover myself up. I still do. I might wear a tight pair of jeans, but I’ve got a big baggy sweater on, and 50 layering pieces. I’m not surprised that layering moved forward with [Mary-Kate and Ashley’s] aesthetics, because it was such a big part of their style growing up.”

Swartz, who was involved in Mary-Kate and Ashley’s first ever clothing line collaboration, a collection for Walmart, went on to say she isn’t surprised by their success in the fashion industry.
