Mary Kate and Ashley sneak us a peek of their new Fall '08 clothes.

 
It's no secret that Ashley and Mary Kate Olsen have coveted style, so maybe
their decision to become clothing designers isn't so far-fetched.

After launching their luxe line The Row (which included a memorable $200 t-shirt,
but also some incredible cocktail dresses), the former NYLON cover girls created
a diffusion line of younger, more affordable pieces called Elizabeth + James
- the same names as their younger siblings.


For Fall, the line has the distinctive vibe of "trust fund babe goes to
a rock concert" - there are Princess coats that happen to be cut in electric
pink wool, flannel plaid skirts sliced so short they could be an ice dancing
costume, and a variety of slouchy collars and hoods to help you hide from the
paparazzi.


In short, everyone will want to wear it, and you can see it here first - unless
MK + A have started sporting samples in their tabloid photos, and then, well,
we tried.

Holy shit, picture 3 looks about 6 months into her pregnancy.

The coats look kind of cute, but same thing. I don't get the 'tiny girls putting on lots of layers and oversized clothes in an attempt to look pregnant' thing. :/

We're not trying to look pregnant. We're trying to not have people gawk at our skinniness because as fashionable as thin maybe in Hollywood, that's not how it is in the "outside world." At least that's the experiences I've had.

Your experience is so the opposite of mine. I never hear anyone saying "I wish I were fat." But you do hear people say "I wish I were skinny."

THE ROW > THIS SHIT
[info]dutsukyampu 10th-May-2008 02:37 pm (UTC)
i dun get it..is the row their most expensive line? or is it E&J?
[info]tres_francais 10th-May-2008 02:58 pm (UTC)
yep THE ROW is expensive but it is worth it and i totally love the spirit of the line.
E&J on the other hand..Is more like a liscensing deal (is that how you say?)
[info]lividsun 10th-May-2008 10:38 am (UTC)
I don't want any of it, can I has my money back?
[info]omer 10th-May-2008 10:38 am (UTC)
cute.
[info]snobbyshannie 10th-May-2008 10:39 am (UTC)

Topshop is WAY better than that malarkey.
[info]bogie_bacall 10th-May-2008 10:41 am (UTC)
How much will this "affordable" shit cost?
[info]tres_francais 10th-May-2008 10:48 am (UTC)
i think it's affordable because it's under $1000 lol

That's so stupid. I would never spend that much money for something designed by the OLSEN twins of all people. Marc Jacobs? Tom Ford? Sure.

Sarah Jessica Parker's Bitten is affordable. Hell, Kimora Lee Simmmons's clothing and Jessica Simpson's shoes are affordable. This Olsen twin crap? Def. NOT affordable. lol.
[info]ialysoni 10th-May-2008 10:43 am (UTC)
I don't care for it - but based on how they dress, I suppose it's decent.
[info]treebraids 10th-May-2008 10:44 am (UTC)
The only people that covet the Olsen's sense of style are Hobos and Bag Ladies.
[info]zimtsticker 10th-May-2008 10:45 am (UTC)
my grandma might like that.
[info]__papillon 10th-May-2008 10:45 am (UTC)
coats! i want the brown one on the fourth pic.
[info]treebraids 10th-May-2008 10:45 am (UTC)
I feel bad for their siblings.
[info]broken_enemy 10th-May-2008 12:00 pm (UTC)
They have other siblings?
[info]bussineskitty 10th-May-2008 12:08 pm (UTC)
the line is named after 2 of them, I think there are 4 all together
[info]tres_francais 10th-May-2008 10:47 am (UTC)
i've to say the styling is terrible, so maybe it makes it worse than it is..

There's the collection on their site http://www.elizabethandjames.us/ and some of the clothes are really nice imo
[info]tres_francais lol i tried elizabethandjames.com and here's what i saw — 10th-May-2008 10:52 am (UTC)
This has been a website about our family, for ourselves, extended family and friends for the last six years. Recently it has come to our attention that a new company has been created with the same name.
Unfortunately for us, this has meant that we cannot use the site as we had always intended without exposing our two small children to VERY large numbers of strangers viewing their pictures, and possibly endangering their safety. Obviously, putting the photos up on the web inherently put them in the public eye, but there is a HUGE difference between a few random people stumbling upon our site and the thousands who have in the past few weeks.

Instead of taking this site down, we will be adding content and links that may be of some interest. Please check back for updates. Thank you for your time.

um...why didn't they pick a domain name with their surnames or something? Narcissists.

haha it shocks me how common it is for people to type in blahblahblah.com expecting to end up on an official website.
