Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen don't feel bad when they rip their designer clothing to shreds...literally.
The twin siblings – who are the creative directors of their fashion lines
The Row and Elizabeth and James – like to stylize their outfits to make them
unique but sometimes get too carried away.
Ashley said:

“The amount of beautiful things we've ruined – not having the
patience for a tailor and cutting everything ourselves. My sister once took
an Alaïa dress of mine and just cut the whole thing, and then she was like,
‘I cut it too short.’

“Mary-Kate and I don't think about fashion as these clean, beautiful
objects. We just kind of wear it and live in it.”

Ashley also revealed her mother is one of her fashion inspirations.
Talking about her style, which is often criticized, the blonde beauty told
Marie Claire magazine:

“I get it; we were fortunate enough to have really
nice clothes, and we put them together in this raggedy way. My mom wears
glasses this big from the ’70s, and you wonder where we got it from? The
dark eyeliner, the scarf around the head — it’s just so interesting and
natural.”

I guess when you have as much money as they do, owning and ruining an expensive dress isn't the end of the world. The have enough money to buy a million more!

But hearing Ashley talk about how reckless they are with their designer duds makes me cringe a bit.  Then again, I will never understand what it's like to be in their shoes.
