Fashion butterflies ahead! Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are branching out from their uber-successful clothing lines with an e-commerce venture named “StyleMint“. When it launches this July, members will be able to take style quizzes which will tailor purchase suggestions, with the recommendations becoming more specific based on items bought. Facebook and Twitter will also be integrated to help collect opinions from your ‘friends’ or ‘fans’. Best part? Price! The first collection – eight designer tees – will sell for $29.99 each.
“Online commerce is the perfect medium for us to create a new brand that is as much about the clothing as it is about the customer experience.”
– Ashley Olsen
