This mini mogul and her twin sister, Ashley Olsen—who grace the April cover of Elle UK—were recently nominated for a Womenswear Designer of the Year award from CFDA (Council of Fashion Designers of America). The award is for their label, The Row, and fellow noms include Marc Jacobs and Proenza Schouler designers, Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez.
The awards ceremony will be held on June 4th at Alice Tully Hall, and you better believe we'll bring you all the latest!
