The Row Resort 2011

[Thefrenchy]

^I may be wrong but, The Row is not made to be crazy creative. They aim at offering high-quality basics, and that's what I see everytime.

 

[Bellechloe]

i like it!! it is too ashley tho

 

[Street_a_Licious]

i think if you took the pieces apart, they stand alone as well made high quality basics that are trendless....

as timeless as a potatoe sack

 

[VersaceLuva586]

Mixed and matched with different pieces...some of this could look nice and i think that's the point of the line really.

careful, many say the same about celine basics...

I know the row isn't made to be a crazy creative type of brand, but considering how well of an impact the Fall/Winter 2010 collection made, this looks lousy

i love me some rough looking cotton canvas for summer

but floorlength jute skirts with long sleeve t-shirts?

even the first American settlers would find that too conservative

 

[mikeijames]

^but perhaps not their descendants on the upper east side

 

[blackkohl]

oh wow

i never knew the Olsens design for the Amish and Quiverfull people

Same here.

Dull collection. Hopefully the quality is really good otherwise I doubt the sales will be high...

 

[CharlottefromCA]

good that I'm not the only one who found this dishwater dull, I mean I loved their Fall runway collection, so I was expecting a lot more. Looks like Amish School Teacher uniforms..

and I love that Celine skirt! haha

 

[Street_a_Licious]

yeah, probably Amish School Teacher when she feels like dressing more 'sassy'!

Tyra is on a mission to make everyone *FIERCE*

 

[cholo]

I am as bored as the model.

as someone else posted, this is very much what Ashley would wear - and the Row is much more her baby than MK's. She has been pulling from early 90s minimalism (and grunge) for awhile now so this collection is exactly why I would expect. It's not my style and some of it is difficult to wear, but I think a lot of the pieces on their own are quite nice and very on-trend.

 

[mikeijames]

^i don't know about that. the row has performed quite well for retailers like bergdorf goodman. and it's always been austere.

 

[Matay]

I really like it.
I think the fact that you could see them in every piece is the basis of the labels appeal, non?
I like the idea of layering a mini dress over a floor length skirt too.

 

[honeyisle]

All talk of minimalism and austerity aside, clothes have to first and foremost flatter the average woman's body. I don't think any of these pieces do that...

 

[cholo]

I think it is fairly safe to say this will not be one of their more commercially successful seasons

 

[MrFalconer]

The Row (and Ashley's personal style) use to be classic, refined and chic but she's taken both too far towards grandpa for my liking.
I'm disappointed and that model is terrible.

ONTD posted about this collection and the commentary is GOLD. i wish i would have had the patience to write that myself LOL.

A hausfrau shift and spinster skirt will take you from day to night. Milk the cows in the morning, go to the market with Papa in the afternoon, then help Mama hang-dry the laundry and prepare supper in the evening without ever having to change out of this versatile outfit

There’s no way Hezekiah Porter won’t ask you to dance at the 5th Annual Cornflower and Baked Potato Spring Fling Dance when he sees you in this saucy number.

You can be sexy and classy –not to mention look 20lbs heavier-- with this virginal white blouse and long wool skirt. If your milkshakes don’t bring all the local Puritan boys to your yard then the scandalous sight of your ankles and perceived heft of your childbearing hips in this outfit surely will.

Need to look a foot shorter? This figure-busting dress will do the trick. It will also reaffirm your chastity when the villagers start to whisper about your wild, ankle–bearing ways and all the milkshake-drinking boys loitering in your yard.

This practical number will aid you in feigning innocence while you are in the courtroom being tried for heresy. You'll want to look completely devoid of sexuality. This outfit will help considerably.

If that outfit doesn’t work try this.

So you’ve been found guilty of heresy and and are pretty much screwed. Why not go out with a bang? The sight of your butch sweater and pants will be a great final "screw you" to the judgmental villagers as they watch you go up in flames on the pyre.

GOLD i tell ya!
