Having a good stylist doesn't mean you are a great "designer".

^ ... erm. Who cares for their movies ? They teen stars so what ? We're here to talk about their line

 

[Dkammern]

I think thats why the Olsens [wisely] chose to present in a more discrete manner as opposed to showing it as a runway collection - which then, could be accused of being 'plain and boring'.

I like how intelligent they approach this line and the way they market it - its really mature

i couldnt agree more. the fact that they are creating a basics line, that the word OLSENS is not printed in any of the pieces, that they are wearing it themselves and they are focusing on quality and fit and, afterall, an uncovered spot on the market or just something that had never been done before, should makes us all realize that there is more to this than the finantial profit they will get out of it.
this is not Bitten, this is not Just Sweet, This is The Row! a new fashion house on which i would like to predict, we will be able to count on for good quality basics and yes plain stuff (that's pretty much a basic), but never boring!

I even think that the line will get a lot better with time, because they'll learn about reality in the business... quality will improve, maybe prizes will drop... after all, this is jsut the beggining!

 

[Thefrenchy]

When will we see the first pics of the men line ? I know there will be tees but then ..

 

[rainy_spring]

what i love about it is that you can buy something from this line and it will last forever. (or a long time, i mean). you won't have to replace it, its not going to be something you can't wear next season. it's probably well worth the money in that sense.

What a silly comment. Nobody is here saying they're the greatest designer alive. what we are saying is that they took an area of the market which has been neglected and they're being very very clever with how they present themselves and the line. This is a basics line and nowhere do they pretend that it's anything more. They said themselves that they had difficulty finding high end well fitting basics and that's what inspired the line....

Also, even though I think MK&As personal history has nothing to do with this line, they do happen to be high profile business women with a huge personal empire. They aren't irrelevant because they do cheesy movies for children. They developed a business model which is very well respected in the industry.

I hate their films and I don't give a damn about their private lives but I love what they're doing with this line. I really do. I'd love it even if it wasn't MK&A, the only difference is it probably wouldn't get as much recognition if the Olsens weren't well known.

They know what they're doing. This is more than just 'having a stylist' (which I don't think they have anyway)

A beautiful fit from the Olsens

By Hayley Kaufman, Globe Staff | September 13, 2007
Mary-Kate Olsen is a woman of few words. Lounging on a white chaise at Louis Boston, the 21-year-old looks vaguely amused, as if the people buzzing around her are characters in a dream: "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" as told to the editors of Us Weekly.
She is here with her sister Ashley to unveil the latest looks from their high-end clothing line, The Row, and ostensibly to chat with a reporter, who (knowingly, admittedly) opens with a softball.
So, like, when did you start caring about fashion?
Mary-Kate's eyes, fringed heavily with mascara, flash for an instant before the half-smile returns. "Let's wait for Ashley."
You can't blame her, really, for not wanting to play along. The Olsens (please don't call them twins) have been performing for cameras and viewers since they were just a few months old, when they were cast in the sitcom "Full House." In the years since, they've become pop-culture curiosities, their every move chronicled and deconstructed. The headlines are well-known: The tweener video empire. The clothing deal with Wal-Mart. The Forbes lists and the estimated $100 million fortune. Boyfriends. College. Weight.
In the past couple of years, the sisters have embarked on a new venture, meticulously designing clothes that they would want to wear. And, indeed, as the two doll-like designers slip on items from The Row's fall line - a gun-metal fur, a cashmere cowl-neck jacket - the pieces fit beautifully. The collection is form-fitting where it needs to be, but also elegant and architectural. Even the T-shirts are distinctive, with a sexy but delicate French seam drizzled down the back. Mod is in the details.
Ashley returns, sits. She is intense and serious, leaning into her answers. She tells a bit about how her quest for the perfect T-shirt led to the creation of The Row, and how time-consuming the design process can be if you really want to do it right.
"We put so much time and effort into these pieces, our hearts are in it," she says. "If you look, the press we do is very slim. We like to let the clothing speak for itself."
But of course. And yet, the washed leather jackets and cummerbund dresses and rubber pants offer no witty ripostes. We press on.
If you had to describe The Row in three words, what would they be? Ashley offers: "Ageless, timeless, quality." Mary-Kate follows with: "Chic, simple, glamour."
And finally, if you could tell the world one thing about yourselves that we still don't know, what, pray tell, could that be?
"You think you know, but you have no idea," Ashley says, smiling and saucy.
The still-bemused Mary-Kate pauses for a moment. Is she mulling an answer or crafting an artful dodge? "I'm not even going to answer that question," she says, running her hand through her long curls. "My sarcasm might come out."

this was in the boston globe today

To be honest, if I were a girl this would be all I wanted to wear.

#727 : exactly my thought.

I only see one piece that I can buy online at browns...does anyone know of any online sites that I can purchase their pieces from???

 

[monsieur_a]

i think their collection is the best among the celebrity's line..

 

[Velony]

i think their collection is the best among the celebrity's line..

I agree. It's nothing like the other tacky celebrity lines like Jesssica Simpson's or J.Lo for example. This is completely different and therefore so much better.

^Because THIS is a COLLECTION

 

[Grill]

Does anyone know off-hand where the Row is currently stocked in Paris or London? I just fell in love with joie de mode's v-necked tee!

I wonder if people will stop calling their line "a celebrity line". Isn't fashion their main business now? I though this is what they want to be associated with.

monsieur_a, this is not directed to you personally

 

[adorefaith]

who's the model in the video?..

 

[rainy_spring]

I agree, valerique. They have talked about this as being what they want to do, design. And just because they're celebrities/teen stars/etc doesn't mean they can't do it well. I think they have proven they can do it well. They're very smart about their marketing technique & the way they're pulling it all together.

can someone kindly make the video youtube viewable? It plays on my computer fine and everything but I just think one day it might be gone from style.com . Also maybe provide a downloadable link aswell (I just love it) and I want it saved on my comp. If not, thats cool.
