| the Olsen's at their "the Row" show- Feb. 2010 |
“Full House”, “It Takes Two”, “Two of a Kind”, and “New York Minute” are only some of the works of the famous celebrity sisters, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. The sisters have moved on from being on the big screen and on television sets to being involved in a completely different industry- the fashion industry. Although the girls have always been interested in fashion, they are finally pursuing that dream. They created the label “The Row” and fashion line “Elizabeth and James.”
February 16th, 2010 was the first time the Olsen’s stepped out on the runway following their “the Row” Fall 2010 collection at New York Fashion Week. The sisters told popsugar.com that they wanted “something low-key and straight to the point” as their inspiration and theme for their designs. They did just that! The collection was filled with black and white garments that were very simple and comfortable. They had only 19 simple looks and only few photographers in attendance for their show. They have been working on their collections ever since in their New York City showroom, and have made their garments available online at TheRow.com.
“Elizabeth and James” is a fashion line created by the 24-year-old twins, which is actually said to be named after their siblings. According to sawfnews.com, the concept for their designs was a boy-girl relationship and to tell a story through the clothing. The collection is found at Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus, and more. The twins even set up a “pop up shop” during New York City’s Fashion’s Night Out on September 10th, 2010 in the West Village. The shop was filled with a 1920’s “traveling circus” theme, which was ongoing from the inspiration for the E&J Fall 2010 collection.
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have always been an inspiration of mine since I was a little young girl. It’s great that they are continuing their success in the fashion industry, since I am a fashion student myself. It just gives me one more way to look up to these phenomenal ladies. From 1-year-old actresses to 24-year-old designers, keep up the good work, Olsens!
