The Row S/S 2014 New York

[terrainvague]

I see that the twins are channelling the old Véronique Branquinho shows. This is much better than what CL is striving to be at Hermès! Bravo.

 

[Not Plain Jane]

I don't usually like their work but I do love this collection. There are a lot of interesting pieces. I think it's more timeless, wearable, and flattering than a lot of stuff they've done in the past. That's just my opinion, though.

I agree and feel the same way.

Great pieces, every single pieces look expensive.

SEPTEMBER 09, 2013
NEW YORK
By Nicole Phelps

The Row woman this season is an eclectic, exceedingly well-dressed nomad, picking up inspiration and pieces from her travels around the world. It's a decided change of pace from Fall, when Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen conjured a fabulously chic city dweller content to lounge around at home in red bedroom slippers, with the occasional excursion to the office or dinner. Both visions are seductive. Maybe it's their experience on set as actors, but the Olsens are highly skilled at creating a mood.

The references for Spring came from far and wide. There were visions of Arabia in the long layers and the models' veils, Northern Africa in the printed djellaba, a fishing village in the macramé sweater and matching cross-body hobo bag, and Russia (maybe), or some other cold clime, in a dense wool coat with a quilted bib. That coat and another that appeared to be constructed from a woven rug looked too weighty for real-life wearing, but the rest of the collection was notably light. The white top in crinkled georgette worn over a twisted bandeau and a snakeskin wrap skirt could've been spun from air. Just as alluring was a sleeveless black dress in leather laser-cut so finely it looked, upon first glance, like it was lace. And while we're on the subject of wow factor, we should bring up a coat made from perforated shearling. Not many other New York designers are doing this kind of couture-like work.

This was a tranquil, transporting show, but one that was also firmly grounded in the here and now. Case in point: the show's sublimely understated loafers and mules, commissioned by the Olsens from the Bologna, Italy-based cobbler of handmade men's shoes Enzo Bonafè. It's the first time Ashley and Mary-Kate are offering shoes, and they'll be sold in limited editions. The Row's fans would be wise to put their names on the list now.

Ahhhhh this looks breathtaking. Every single season I am impressed by The Row. As usual, c'est parfait.

 

[FashionFanatico]

really interesting, different, unique.

looooove the huge bags and the flat shoes!

 

[GIVENCHYlover]

I like the last part (black).

 

[HeatherAnne]

The style is totally Christophe Lemaire for Hermès.

It reminds me of that as well, it definitely has that traveler spirit to it. It's exquisite. Great selection and use of color. I do wish they would start a shoe line, I'm disappointed to hear that these beauties will have limited availability.

Agree, Lemaire has been off the last couple seasons for me. Much prefer this: designed but not contrived, minimal but romantic, lush but easy.

 

[ScarlettLover]

One of the best collections of NY for me, this is so exquisite. I love the traveler's feel to it.

 

[tricotineacetat]

As far as I have heard, they have been working with Samuel Drira to style the collection (among whose clients are Damir Doma, Christophe Lemaire and Matthew Ames), so that could very well explain the similarities.

 

[Deleted member 7575]

The Row has worked with stylists in the past but currently the collection is styled in-house by the design team.

 

[Stargirl]

Best collection this season. Great work.

You're right. Ashley & Mary-Kate Olsen and Nadège Vanhee are doing the styling

 

[SabrinaNicole]

This is an interesting collection.

 

[flaneur]

interesting collection. feels both wearable yet challenging with shapes/details.

 

[|PerfectTonight|]

They always deliver this effortless elegance and detail of their own signature. The shoes are fantastic!

 

[agee]

For the twenty something urbanite who wants to dress like a fifty something from a university town.

I like the shoes and I think I like the bags but I can't get a good look at them because they are blending in with the clothes.

 

[crimsonlakes]

Great collection! Very serene and ethereal almost.

Can someone tell me who are those designers hired by the twins？
