Absolutely love this collection. They're really getting better and better. Love the looks 4/6/7 and every look that includes stripes. Just when I was getting a bit sick of them, I love how they used them. Great accessories, too.The only flaw: I could have done without the last seven looks. They seem a bit dated.

I also love how they couldn't help but include a fur jacket

By the way, do any of you know who does the styling?

I like this a lot. Some of the striped garments are rather lovely. I also like combination of the floral dress with the white fur coat.

one of the best collection of them. chapeau!

 

[widowsofculloden]

I love their use of stripes in this collection

 

[ultramarine]

Creepers and marinieres? (and are those Panama hats?)

Love the styling. The only thing Im afraid of is that they're pushing a trend which is very now. Once it hits the stores in 2012 do you think people will still want to wear it?

Still, very very good.

don't know why stripes can make that far to be a statement in fashion just a simple line can change a whole look. Anw, about the collection, those 1st looks with stripes are nice, genuinely remind me of Yohji Yamamoto, the rectangle look/drop torso. And, is it me assuming Ashley's new fav color this year is that pale blue?

Love it!!

>> Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen sourced white '40s suiting and the pervasive mariniere stripes of The Row's Resort 2012 collection from the Luchino Visconti film Death in Venice. “We included a lot of cotton,” added Ashley, “because we wanted things to feel clean and fresh." The twins also unveiled a fine jewelry collaboration with Greek jeweler Ileana Makri, featuring an evil eye motif on diamond and sapphire bracelets, cuff links, rings, and anklets, the latter of which they have apparently been fighting over wearing.

NEW YORK, June 10, 2011
By Nicole Phelps
Just when you thought you were finally, officially over marinière tops, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen go and produce the most irresistible take on the stripey shirt you can imagine: a blue and white mink cardigan coat. They teamed it with a matching knit dress and socks and black and white Gravati spectator shoes. For designers who made their mark with an understated sort of minimalism, they sure let it rip in their Resort collection for The Row. Yes, there was plenty of white cotton suiting (this time with a 1940's, Italian seaside slant), but the real charmers here were the evening numbers, special pieces that involve the kind of elaborate, time-consuming handwork, they explained, that their factories rarely do anymore.

Case in point: a little tank top entirely constructed from tatted metal wire flowers worn with high-waisted silk shorts. A white and mint green jumpsuit boasting gorgeous Art Deco beaded sleeves, likewise, looked like an instant collector's item for a woman whose bank account rivals the Olsens. MK and Ashley like it luxe, but they're smart enough to know that a successful brand is a diversified brand. Enter a new collaboration with the jewelry designer Ileana Makri. The sisters are so into the ankle chains they've made together that they're fighting each other to wear them. Today, Ashley came out ahead; she was wearing a couple on each foot.

I really like this collection, and usually I'm not that fond of stripes.

 

[fashion debutant]

love!i really like how they're "shaping up" as designers!they just keep getting better with every collection

 

[Prairie]

Beautiful!
What I like the most about Olsens' clothing line is the fact that girls don't only imitate their own clothes like almost all celebrities do for their so-called lines.

 

[KaraDanielle11]

I want some better pictures of the jewelry!

 

[GERGIN]

Must have that oversized striped cardigan...RIGHT NOW!

 

[charlieandmarie]

I really love this collection. I think I like it more than their Fall collection. I especially love 1, 9, and 21. The styling is lovely as well.

I'm really not into resort collections but after ruminating over this collection, I find it very well done. The tailoring, with the exception of a few of the sweaters, is immaculate. I also find the floral pieces beautifully done and they found a new way to breathe life into the breton stripe pieces. And if I saw this collection without a name next to it, I'd recognize it as "The Row", so they've really created quite a distinguishable aesthetic, which I admire.

 

[loladonna]

After looking at the Proenza and Wang resort collections this seems rather mundane. The breton stripes are so overdone now that I just can't look at another striped sweater.

 

[softgrey]

um...am i seeing nude hose with that green dress?!?...

I think these girls have emerged as real designers. I really don't think of them as celebrities with a line anymore, they've come into their own. I love how unpretentious these clothes are, it's still a collection of basics, extremely refined basics... timeless and classic. And of course the styling is phenomenal.
