A Double Scoop Of Olsen Twin Style

Splash News

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are selling their new clothing line for JC Penney, olsenboye, out of an ice cream truck parked in Union Square on a rainy, cold October morning. I don’t get it, but what the hell do I know? [New York City, 10/28/09]

Olsens To Design For JCPenney!

olsen twins

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have a long way since their days of cheap-o Wal-Mart fashions. And were it not for the serious success of their high-style line, The Row, the news that they’re now designing a juniors line for JCPenney might have been laughed off as lame mall trash. There’s little info on this JCPenney collaboration other than that the range will be called Olsenboy (menswear inspired, perhaps?). Sadly, a “juniors” line would mean that in order to fit into the styles, we’d either have to bring our 14-year-old selves back form the past, or lose some 100 pounds. Target, can you please sign these ladies up for a project? [NY Mag]

There’s also some highbrow news for the Olsens—this week the twins were inducted into the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA), joining talents like Alexander Wang and Jason Wu. Well done. [NBC’s The Thread Blog]

What Does The Row Look Like, Really?

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen

Between Mary-Kate‘s bag-lady hippie style, Ashley’s newfound sophistication, and those fun-in-a-traumatic-way memories of the Tanner twins, it’s kind of hard to think of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen as legitimate, serious designers. Perhaps that’s why we’ve more or less ignored The Row since its launch a few seasons ago. But, all of a sudden, every big fashion person and their mother, from New York Times fashion critic Cathy Horyn to Barney’s New York director Julie Gilhart, can’t sing The Row’s praises loudly enough. So we’re finally listening. And kicking ourselves for being dismissive for so long.

We browsed The Row’s early fall offerings on Barney’s site and, though pricey, we now understand why everyone’s saying their sales will jump 30 percent this season. Check out a few of their classic-cool best pieces after the jump. Could they actually be celeb designers that we’d want to encourage?

Round Sunglasses Are The Next Big Thing We Won’t Be Buying

Mary-Kate Olsen and Ozzy Osbourne

We’d seen the round glasses trend creeping up slowly for the last couple years. It became especially apparent the circle shades would blow up at some point when Mary-Kate Olsen, always the trendsetter, began wearing John Lennon-style wireframes on a regular basis. And then goggle-like pairs were paraded down the runways of Proenza Schouler, Lanvin, and Marc Jacobs. Now, the New York Times has declared this the summer of round-framed sunglasses, and we’re aghast.

The Olsen Twins’ Yin and Yang Fashion

Ashley and Mary Kate Olsen at the premier of The Hangover

After years of matching outfits, Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen have made quite a stink about being “individuals,” which often means that their style choices are entirely different. Such was the case at last night’s premier of “The Hangover” in L.A,. with Ashley looking glam and sleek in a floor-length black dress and Mary Kate looking like a particularly fashionable, ‘70s-influenced bag lady. That said, Mary Kate’s multi-textured, heavily-accessorized outfit certainly did have a look to it, even if everything together felt like a little too much. Learn how to steal their respective styles after the jump…

Who Should Jesus Luz Date Next?

Madonna Dumps Jesus Luz

Madonna supposedly broke up with model Jesus Luz after she saw photos of him getting close to 31-year-old model Luciana Costa in Brazil. We knew this relationship was kind of doomed from the start because he just seemed like Madge’s arm candy, and Madonna didn’t seem like his type.

    The Olsen Twins Want Their Coffee With A C-Cup

    Olsen Twins Wants Boob Jobs

    According to a Swedish study, three cups of coffee a day will make your boobies go away.  So, in Page Six magazine yesterday, I debated the dilemma with a swimwear buyer for Victoria’s Secret, Courtney Alexander.  I proudly proclaimed I’d skim a little off my bra size to keep my morning pick me up. However, I felt bad for the coffee-and-A-cup-combo pictured with the article, poor lil’ Ashley Olsen. Now, there’s a rumor circulating that Ashley wants a boob job, and is trying to drag Mary Kate under the knife too. Somebody call Uncle Jesse to talk some sense to these babes!

    Playboy: Lindsay Lohan Just Says No

    Lindsay Lohan Says No To Playboy

    Not like we haven’t already seen Lindsay Lohan’s whole kit and kaboodle thanks to the paparazzi, bottle service, her refusal to wear panties, and that little Marilyn Monroe-inspired shoot for New York. But Playboy just offered the hottest lesbian in Hollywood $700,000 to pose nude for their magazine. Surprisingly enough, Lohan said “NO!” It’s amazing how love can change a girl. I can’t tell if this decision was brilliant or a bomb, but here’s how other stars have fared after telling Hugh Hefner to bug off, plus fifteen stars who’ve said “Yes” to Hef and have seen their stars sky rocket—and tank.
