Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen Would Love To Dress Michelle Obama

Actresses-turned-designers Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen talked about their clothing line The Row's success in the September issue of Harper's Bazaar. Both girls noted their supposed decline in popularity since their foray into the fashion world, with Ashley remarking, "Remember that crazy time when all of us young girls were being followed?" Mary-Kate said, "We're either at home or here at the studio. I think they got bored of us."

A lot of their design aesthetic comes from their mother who "taught us never to have your belly button exposed," explained Mary-Kate. "We've always been attracted to longer-- "Layers, silhouettes," Ashley says, finishing her sentence.

So who do the sisters hope to dress next? Like all emerging talent, they have their eye on the prize...and it might not be totally impossible, given The Row's popularity among middle-aged fashionistas.

"I'd love to get Michelle Obama in the Row," Ashley said. "The simple suits and things. It's all made in America, so why not?"

Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen Would Love To Dress Michelle Obama - as what? These ghoulish twins are....the antithesis of fashion and normalcy. Maybe Michelle Obama should dress them!

Two coheads have some 'ideas" and it becomes news on HP about FLOTUS. Pathetic.

Exactly how many years do "Full House" points last?

Obviously far longer than "Brady Bunch" points.

AH-HA! I just remembered where Snooki got her stupid pout from! THESE TWO!

Please, stay away from FLOTUS. She's doing just fine without your help, Olsen twins. And for crying out loud, SMILE once in a while!

First, they have to learn how to dress themselves.....and why do they always have to be with each other looking like they are conjoned praying mantis twins( no offense praying mantises or conjoined twins)???

I think that the late, great Yves Saint Laurent would have been a very good designer for our fabulous First Lady, Michelle Obama; he was so innovative and fashion forward, and her frame would have been an inspiration for some good stuff. I visited the retrospective on his fashions at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, just 2 days after his death in June 2008, and it was stunning to say the least!

Right, they have zero fashion sense. What an odd challenge!

Very astute business minds!
That proposition is a brilliant business money making idea of course, have michlle wear just ONE of your fashion item, That item would be off the shelf in not time. They know Michelle is good for buisness these days.

lets see if michelle will go for it.

If their personal style is any indication of what they want to dress the FLOTUS in, no, thanks!
