Born in 1981 in Sherman Oaks, California, the Olsen twins were raised by their mother, a former model. They began their careers as child models, appearing in campaigns for major brands like Olay and L'Oréal.
At the age of 11, they moved to Los Angeles to pursue careers in acting. They quickly became stars in the Disney Channel's 'So Little Time', and their careers snowballed from there.
However, they soon became disillusioned with their typecasting as the perfect little girl next door. They rebelled against the system and began to explore their own interests, leading to a career in design and fashion.
