(NEW YORK) While celebrity guests attending the Balenciaga party at Barneys Friday night wore Ghesquière nearly head to toe, Ashley Olsen used the opportunity to test drive a piece from what The Daily has learned will be the name of her forthcoming line, The Row. Her cropped navy-and-forest-green plaid-printed jacket was a chic update on the carpetbagger look for which she and Mary Kate have become best-known. While details remain under wraps, the voluminous little blazer looked a healthy contender for Ashley’s foray into the world of designer fashion.

Oh. Hmmm. I must be behind on things, because I had no clue she had a line in the works.

Well, I think her line might have some actual design credibility, I actually thought that jacket was Balenciaga and not her line. So that's why Im pretty sure her line will be pretty solid.

The name isn't too bad either.

I thought their talk about starting a clothing line for adults was just that - talk. Well, I'm a fan of Ashley Olsen so I'm excited to see how her line turns out.

The jacket is very nice, and this looks like a good indication of what's to come. Maybe the olsen twins would do better in the fashion world instead of being second rate actresses. I wonder what the pricing would be?

damn I like that jacket.

Seeing that ashley and mary kate are very short and petite, it would be very cool if ashley included different sizes fitting ladies 5'1 - 5'4. It can be difficult to find nice pieces that fit when your extremely petite

Now I'm psyched to see what else there is to offer.

 

[leyla m.]

Love the jacket! I hope this is a good reflection on the rest of the line...and I also hope it's not ridiculously expensive Wonder where she came up with the name "The Row"?

I want that jacket, can't wait to see more.

Definetly be intresting to see what the line is like. Is she the one actually designing it? They're not doing what most seem to and just pull in a designer or two and just claim they did it?

 

[TheGlassAngel]

I actually like some of Gwen's stuff....it could be worse.

 

[BaroqueRockstar]

i think she might actually be designing it. i mean, she interned for zac posen, no?
