Amy Larocca Hearts MK & A

You Got It Dude.jpg

There are few fashion critics whom we aspire to be, but Amy Larocca is up there.

The New York style writer wrote one of our favorite pieces ever - on Marc Jacobs - and broadcasts her trend forecasts with restrained glee every Fashion Week.

But next week, she’ll do something a little odd:

Proclaim Mary Kate and Ashley the “Fashion Gremlins,” but then give their new clothing line a glowing review - her summary of the article says that “the Olsen twins-glamorous and bohemian-take their peculiarly prescient fashion sense mainstream with a grown-up line. And the result is surprisingly good.”

Well, who woudn’t want to dress like a scrubbed-up Olsen, if given the affordable option?

But the girls will have to justify their price points - $600 for a dress is still hard to take.

And hopefully, MK will clear up the mystery of Elizabeth & James’ sparkled mini-dress… you know, the one she wore to Zac Posen’s afterparty last year, billed as “vintage”…

Uh oh... MK does not look good. Maybe she's been up a little too late? Though I won't worry until I hear she's been hanging out with Britney and Paris.

I'd kill to be an Olsen. And I wish I had a ton of money so I could buy the row, E&J and about a billion other lines/labels/designers.
