Mary-Kate Olsen covers July’s edition of ELLE Magazine.

“I think there’s a real disconnect between the media’s perception of fashion and the fashion world’s idea of fashion,” argues Mary-Kate. “I don’t know why I wear some of the things I wear…it’s sort of like an art,” she tells the mag during the interview.

Olsen speaks of her role as a fashion designer and businesswoman, and talks about life as a twin.
