The Row : from Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen

[lucy92]

i think its only at a few locations in NYC (barneys to be exact) and maybe one in LA. maybe thats why nobody has bought it.

frankly, i just think simon doonan and the other honchos at barneys are doing this as a favor to the olsens.

thanks

i was just there and i was on all the designer floors---
it wasn't there...
so it's got to be on the co op floor....
with things like dvf and mayle and maria cornejo, etc...
'young designers'/'contemporary'...is my assumption...

def not on a designer floor...

^^^ Aiming to create the ideal teem Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen joined forces with childhood friend Danielle Sherman to launch THE ROW (named after London's Saville Row):the upshot is clever pieces such as a t-shirt with a single French seam running down the back. The 28-piece line also includes skinny black trousers, long line vests and sleeveless, floor-sweeping knitted cardigans in cashmere and silk with modal. (available at Browns)

VOGUE febuary issue

alot of you sit there and say you can go find it in a mall, but how many different styles can people come up with that isn' t similar to something that someone could find somewhere else?
not everything that someone designs is going to be so unique that you' ve never found anything like it.
haven' t you ever watched the look for less? you can find something similar to alot of designs.

I think I have pretty good taste too, but I wouldn't expect anyone to pay 150 dollars for anything I designed.

perhaps people would buy the shirt because they like the way it fits and feels. you know, you don' t always have to buy something because it' s got a name printed on the tag. their education and experience shouldn' t throw you away if you like how something looks on you.

But that doesn't mean we want to buy it. I'm not going to buy something using the justification "It's not unique but nothing else is, so oh well."

i never said you had to buy it. go buy the cheap version of it somewhere else. i definately can' t afford a t-shirt for $150.. but if i find something i like, and it fits nice, adn it looks nice on me, that' s different.
their stuff isn' t going to fit the same exact way that the other designs that are similar fit.
i' m just saying don' t be so judgemental about it because it' s all over the place. not just them who are designing things that you' ve seen similar to.

soft,

thanks for the report
i heard its too expensive to be next to DvF and Mayle?
what did youthink of the collection?

[Meg]

Mayle is like easily 200-600 that seems like a similar pricepoint. Same with DvF which can go into over 1k....it seems like CoOp is a good place for it even if they wish it was somewhere else. At the end of the day it's just tshirts and skinny jeans so why would you want to see that next to Lanvin?

[kellyt]

I heard it was actually not on the Co-op floor, which would make the most sense.

it was on a designer floor and it was all sold out?

I know I saw a posting about this on tfs, but cant remember where...

[leyla m.]

MAyle is not cheap meg, but its not soemthing i see next to the Row from what i can imagine it being.. even less so next to DVF.

it doesnt need to be Lanvin, but something edgy and cool like Bodyamr or David Szeto...
