The Row : from Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen #1

[KhaoticKharma]

Really like it... I have secretly always wanted to scrape up the moxie to dress like the Olsen twins. They dress with so much eccentricity

That was her jacket? I saw this pic the other day and didn't know. I like the cut/style, dunno about the print though... I think it might look better in a solid.

I dont see anything remotely spectacular about that jacket, i actually kept searching the thread for THE jacket everyone was wowing at...i didnt know it was that thing she had on at the event. . i think they sell some similar ones at Urban Outfitters...tartan, short, puffy sleeves...nothing outstanding. i dont even think the material up close is something worth of mention.

im thinking of the same thing too

yes, it is a nice, cute, chic coat and it might just end up in my closet too..but like some others have siad..i can easily find it in the mall

 

[tifa]

hundreds of talented, trained students out there, broke, looking for work and one of these little monkey type things gets a line? more reason to despair for fashion.

I can't wait to see the rest of the collection. I think her designs will fare better than most celebrity designs.

 

[flyme2themoon]

The jacket's cute.

However, I dislike the label name, The Row. It reminds me of violence (in it's name association with the record company).

 

[JEM]

So basicallly, since Ashley Olsen has money, she shouldn't be designing, because there are thousands of broke students who cannot get a job? Life isn't fair, it never was. But instead of bashing her, I praise her for actually doing something, instead of just sitting on her fortune.

In any case, I find the jacket cute.

 

[mustard]

if ash has the background experience to be a designer then having money shouldnt stop her from doing this. I remember Stella Mccartney was criticised for a similar thing and i think that her collections speak for themselves as im sure ashleys will.
Personally i like the jacket and if it was reasonably priced, i would buy it!! however it is fairly similar to ones iv seen in topshop and other stores

 

[lucy92]

there was an update on this in todays wwd

here's the quote...

"Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen intend to work with a new fashion brand by investing in a designer and are developing their own high-end brand, which they plan to launch later this year."

so they are investing in a designer. i hope they hire someone good. i heard that ll cool j hired a marni designer for his collection. the line was supposed to come out this fall, but i havent seen anything yet.

from coacd:




New hot clothing alert, this Spring expect all the Bruce and Helmut Lang girls to be wearing The Row tops and basics. Think Peruvian cotton in beautiful Calvin Klein tones.

I like the jacket, but I'm surprised so many are excited about this!

I'm a little bit curious because of that + quality of the jacket, but I don't know if I will like this. Celeb designers tend to be bad.

 

[Papercut Crisis]

^ Yes, they do tend to be bad .

Is the line called The Row? I hope it isnt named after themselves...

I think the girls have a sense for fashion beyond the rest of showbiz. Theyseem to keep to themselves and arent out in the spotlight partying every f*cking night making fools of themselves. They always look neat in every picture... They have my respect unlike the rest of hollywood.

 

[JJohnson]

ugh.....dear god...anohter celeb line.....

 

[esquire]

ugh.....dear god...anohter celeb line.....

ohh dear... even my cute celeb dog is designing a line now as well.. it will be ready v soon and will call The Great Woof , wait to see the little jackets.. people will barking around about it..

 

[TheGloryOfThe80s]

I always thought that jacket was Balenciaga too ! My money is on her line being heavily influenced by other designers, like most celebrites lines are. I'm sure it'll be very Chloe, Balenciaga, Stella.

 

[lemeray]

I like what I see so far. But it's overpriced.

 

[Whitelinen]

I wonder if American fashion will be all about celebrity designers soon?

 

[Street_a_Licious]

The magazine scan is cute... the model looks like a freakin' giant next to the Twins...

 

[adi]

it's cute so far but man those pieces are overpriced.. i mean the olsens are mainly idols for teenagers and no teenager can afford those clothes.. somehow i thought that they would make more affordable pieces..
