Editing Mary-Kate Olsen (section)

===Career beginnings===
Following a high volume of public interest in their fashion choices, the Olsen twins began work in collaboration on a string of fashion lines available to the public. Starting as young girls, they started a clothing line in [[Wal-Mart]] stores across America for girls ages 4 to 14 as well as a beauty line called "''Mary-Kate and Ashley: Real fashion for real girls''".<ref name=chinadaily>{{cite web|url=http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/lifestyle/2007-06/04/content_886756.htm|website=ChinaDaily.com|publisher=[[China Daily]]|title=Olsen twins launch new 'Elizabeth and James' collection|access-date=June 4, 2007}}</ref>{{Better source needed|reason=The current source is insufficiently reliable ([[WP:NOTRS]]).|date=May 2022}}

In 2004, they made news by signing a pledge to allow all the workers that sew their line of clothing in [[Bangladesh]] full [[maternity leave]]. The [[National Labor Committee]], which organized the pledge, later praised the twins for their commitment to worker rights.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Grossberg |first1=Josh |title=Mary-Kate, Ashley: No Sweat |url=https://www.eonline.com/news/48806/mary-kate-ashley-no-sweat |website=E!
