The Row - The All-Things The Row Thread

[joiedemode]

Still who stops using a shirt after one use? LOL and they are more than $200 with tax

 

[Lonewalker]

I really like the photo shoot. Is it their house?

^I don't think MissP meant actually throw them away, like in the garbage. I think she was referring to more of a single use-type scenario. And based on the pricing of the shirts - less than $200 - they are meant to be bought in bulk, IMO.

I dont know about bulk... Who wants to spend more than $1000 on t shirts at once? Possible the super rich but I'm sure many are like me and can buy one or two at a time!

Also I disagree with who the line is aimed at...I would buy pieces from this line (okay maybe not right now but that's because all my money has gone towards business equipment and I just can't spare any at all) but to me the pricing for the basics is reasonable and I like what they're doing with their line. Now, I take care of my clothes and I've had clothes that I've worn every week for over 5 years now and they're still fine...

Just a sidenote:

One of my friends got into an elevator with Mary Kate on saturday when he was at Barneys in NYC. He said that she was wearing The Row and it look adorable. Her face, he said, looked cute, but much older than she actually is. Probably due to her regime of coffee and cigarettes

I agree, and even the super super rich, wants something more than just basic t-shirts from a no-name brand.

interesting leatherette, what pieces were she wearing?

 

[theleatherette]

Im not sure exactly which dress she was wearing but it was one of the jersey dresses (in black of course). And she was wearing some ridiculous pair of chunky heels (he didn't get the designer either, hes a guy, what can you expect). She was not carrying a bag though.

Remember, not every guy interested in fashion is gay.
Thank you

Blake on chicago ave and LaSalle carries The Row, as well as barneys on oak street... Blake has a better selection as far as sizes are concerned... Hope this helps!

A couple questions...
How much for a tee & where can I buy it?

Does any place in Chicago or Indy carry it? Ill probably have to call & order it so it doesnt matter really but theres a possibilty I could check it out if its there or it would at least get here faster if I had to order it lol.

sorry didnt mean it like that. He just didnt even think to get the name of the shoes (and he actually is gay, so maybe I expected to much out of him, lol).

There's a lot of debate over this celeb vs. proper designer thing but personally I don't find it a problem.

I think the Olsens are designing on a different level to proper designers. I mean, The Row is an extension of their style-what is missing from their wardrobes or things they have worn over the years manufactured for people who admire their style. However, most people on this forum could probably do this-if given the resources I could probably design and create pieces that I would wear and complement my style but they would probably be based on other designers' works (e.g. a patent waist belt inspired by alaia.) I could not, for example, come up with designs like Nicholas Ghesquire does.
In this respect, I don't think the Olsens could never be true designers like Prada or Balenciaga. Not that I'm saying they're not trendsetters-obviously they are but to wear something innovative is different from creating the piece itself-you are not the one to think up of the idea, just the one to promote it. If you take the Row for what it is-a collection of clothes that are inspired by what the Olsens wear and consequently inspired by real designers then hopefully you'll find there is room for them too in this fashion design world.

This is exactly what I believe. Thanks for putting it into legible words!
I also think that people are very much under AND over estimating their abilities as designers, and this train of thought if very realistic.

theleatherette - i was just about to post the same thing! i was spending some quality 'me' time on saturday. doing my favorite pastime (shoe shopping) and looked over and thought 'god, that girl is tiny' - and then i did a double take. it was MK. i agree she looked much older IRL - and MUCH smaller! the outfit i saw her in was leather pants, chunky shoes and a gold tunic. she was carrying a small turquoise bag.

i am new to this thread, so i will have to go back and read some more, but are the leather pants she has been photographed in a few pages back (also the same ones i saw her in) the row? i LOVE them!!!

p.s. oh, and we were both looking at lanvin flats!

200 dollar t-shirts are meant to be bought in bulk?

 

[stella-mayfair]

does anybody know if the row retails online? i NEED those stretch leather pants!

 

[joiedemode]

brownsfashion.com is the only one I think

 

[cathypamo2]

Does anyone have any idea WHEN the new collection (from the video) will be out?? I'm waiting so so impatiently

Also, if i call Barneys, will they ship internationally?

Thanks in advance!

 

[stella-mayfair]

thanks anyway, joiedemode

 

[cathypamo2]

i went to barneys in sf today and they have one rack with row stuff...
there was a long charcoal dress, a tank, a few long sleeve v-necks, a black blazer and some pants...

Hi! I know this is a bit of an ask, but do you remember what the blazer looked like? Thanks!
