Is It Just Us Or Do Olsen Sunglasses Kinda Make Sense?

Bianca PosterliOctober 14, 2009 //

Usually, when celebrities come out with a clothing line or fragrance, it’s kind of ridiculous. Does Jennifer Lopez really need all those versions of Glow? But with the news that the Olsen twins are creating a brand-new collection of eyewear for The Row, we’re not exactly shocked. After all, the mini moguls basically wear sunglasses like Rachel Zoe – inside, as major accessories, and the larger the better. This spring, four different styles of sunnies will launch at Barneys New York and Bergdorf Goodman, priced from $325-$390. The twins partnered with Linda Farrow to create the designs: aviator, square frame, round ’60s-inspired, and brow-line rims. “We tried to find certain pieces that look good on more than one face, to pay close attention to how they fit certain faces and make them wearable at the same time,” said Ashley Olsen.

Don’t worry (as if you are), the twins aren’t stopping their fashion takeover with sunglasses. Apparently, the future may even hold space for footwear and handbags. [WWD]

WTF? Justin Timberlake and Olsen Twins Join CFDA?

Zandile BlayJuly 22, 2009 //

So, of course, being invited to join the CFDA, the Council of Fashion Designers of America, is the highest honor an American designer can achieve. Oddly enough, William Rast, Justin Timberlake’s clothing line, and The Row, from Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, have both been inducted to the council. Is anyone else uber confused? We sorta get the Olsens. After all, their clothing line has been gaining lots of buzz since it first debuted, and the fashion set loves it for being well-made and well-designed, if a little pricey. But William Rast? What’s to love? It’s primarily known for producing denim. We need answers, and we need them now! If not, we’d at least like a CFDA invitation ourselves since it looks like anyone with a needle and thread can join. Sorry, but we had to take it there! [CFDA] Keep reading »

The Olsen Twins Give Good Prune Face

Amelia McDonell-ParryJune 12, 2008 //

Apparently, to get their signature pouty look, the Olsen twins say “prune” instead of “cheese.” Catherine and I decided to test this theory and, after many takes, came to a few conclusions:

1. They probably don’t say it out loud, because that is weird and it also would make any normal person laugh.
2. In fact, we think just thinking “prune” makes your cheeks suck in.
3. No matter what we do, we don’t look like the Olsens. [MSNBC] Keep reading »

Star Couplings: Beyonce And Jay-Z Tie The Knot

Amelia McDonell-ParryApril 7, 2008 //
  • It’s official, sort of. Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z were wed in an intimate ceremony at a loft in New York on Friday evening. Though their reps have acknowledged that the event took place, everyone from the singers Destiny’s Child bandmates to Gwyneth Paltrow were in attendance. Oh, and everyone was instructed to wear ivory, a detail I will address in a post later on today. [People]
  • Speaking of weddings, half of Hollywood turned out for the wedding of superstar stylist Estee Stanley, including Justin Timberlake and girlfriend Jessica Biel and the Olsens, wearing creepy white masks. [DListed and Just Jared]
  • Speaking frickin’ weddings again, Ok says that Nicole Richie and Joel Madden are getting hitched this summer. Her rep says that they’re not even engaged. [Ok]

    PETA Splatters The Olsen Twins With Virtual Red Paint

    Amelia McDonell-ParryDecember 11, 2007 //

    The marketing geniuses at PETA are at it again! This time the animal loving rabble rousers are going after Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen…make that Hairy-Kate and Trashley Trollsen. The group has dedicated an entire campaign and a MySpace page to tearing down the pint-sized twins for their habit of wearing and producing clothing made with fur.

    “Like most trolls, we live under a bridge and wait for furry animals to walk by so we can skin them and wear them as hats. Because we’re celebrities, we don’t have to live by the same rules that ugly people like you do, and if we want to wrap ourselves up in someone else’s skin, or drape our bodies in the rotting remains of someone’s family, we totally can! And boy, do we ever.”

    In all fairness, when you’re that skinny and tiny, you do get cold more easily, but everyone knows PETA would rather people die from hypothermia than risk an animal getting its life cut short. We kid, because seriously, fur isn’t sexy and little people with bulging eyes and enormous cups of Starbucks that are swathed in it are even more creepy. [MySpace and Peta2] Keep reading »
