The Olsen Twins Make A Backpack Only The Olsen Twins Can Afford

Julie GersteinJuly 16, 2011 //

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are the tiniest, richiest moguls. And for that, they can do whatever they want, which is apparently design and market a $39,000 backpack for their high-end fashion line, The Row. Why does it cost $39,000? It’s made of crocodile, and presumably comes with one of the twins tucked inside. That’s our guess, anyway. Here they are with another bag from their collection, along with sis Elizabeth. Don’t they look ready to suck the marrow from your lifeless body? [Fashionista] Keep reading »

Mary-Kate & Ashley Would Prefer To Be Invisible Designers

Leonora EpsteinSeptember 29, 2010 //

“[The Row] was something where we didn’t want our names on it. I even went as far as being, ‘OK, who can be the frontman?’ We can make the clothes and someone else can be the frontman’ … Instead, it was more about letting the product speak for itself and us being quiet. It’s five years in, and we’ve stuck to that model.”

— While most celebrity clothing lines are more like modeling jobs with a PR and design team doing all the work, Ashley Olsen tells USA Today that she and Mary-Kate wanted The Row to be non-Olsen-oriented. So modest and humble! [USA Today]

The Row Spring/Summer Lookbook: Conceptual And Slightly Scary

Leonora EpsteinNovember 23, 2009 //

Olsen-designed luxury line The Row has released images from its Spring/Summer 2009 lookbook. Looks like Mary-Kate and Ashley went with a tribal theme to complement their collection of luxed-up basics. Is it just us, or do you find some of these photos kind of creepy? Some even seem to have religious references.

Unlike other celeb lines, The Row has maintained success and acclaim by distancing itself from the Olsen name. Yet, we have to wonder, wouldn’t it just be better if MK and Ash modeled this stuff themselves? Everyone wants their wardrobes anyhow, they’re pretty girls, and the product is good. So what’s with the artsy-fartsy stuff? Check out some more pics from The Row’s line after the jump. [Fashion Copious] Keep reading »
