“Are you stalking me,” asked Isaac Mizrahi last night when I told him how much I loved hearing him speak at the 92nd Street Y a few weeks ago?

“Oh my god no,” I whimpered as the color drained from my face.

“Kidding!! I’m SO glad you enjoyed it, that’s so great to hear! It was so fun and I’m so happy you loved it,” he squealed in delight.

While my heart slowly started beating again we talked cheesecake and tartan and the impossibility of guest cheesecake designers at the launch of his new line for QVC, Isaac Mizrahi Live. The party was held on a soundstage with a cubed centerpiece made from TVs - tiny old portable TVs, giant flat screens, a rainbow of TV variety - playing Isaac’s colorful show.

I’ve never watched QVC (alas, no TV), but by the end I found myself determined to own a tartan Isaac blanket. I was not, however, determined to tell Ashley Olsen (who huddled in a corner with her sister and publicist) that I loved hearing her speak at the Y, too. One stalking insinuation’s enough for a night (a lifetime really).

A tipster tells us the Mary-Kate and Ashley are at their Olsenboye treat truck in Union Square like now. Send pics if you’re there and eat a cupcake for us since we’re stuck in the office.UPDATE: Wow, you guys are fast. Click through for a photo.

photo courtesy WWDThis morning we have more details on the Olsen’s latest venture, a juniors line for JCPenney called Olsenboye. According to WWD, the collection will be available at 600 stores in February, but will make a limited debut online and in 50 key locations on November 6th.

Twitter, Facebook, and other social media tools will play a huge part in marketing the line to teens. And today there’s supposed to be an Olsenboye truck out around New York selling merch and handing out cupcakes and balloons. (Let us know if you spot it!)

The line will be sized from 0 to 15 and priced from $20-$50. Ashley says, “Olsenboye is an extension of the Dualstar brand and we feel this collaboration complements and strengthens our business portfolio, delivering trend-based fashion at affordable prices.”

We just wonder what Cintra Wilson will think.

UPDATE: We just heard the “treat truck” will be in Union Square today, Herald Square tomorrow, and Washington Square Park on Thursday.

Joyce Culver, 92nd Street Y“Fashion advertisements are hateful,” said Isaac Mizrahi at tonight’s 92nd Street Y panel discussion on the future of fashion, “but they work.”

Glamour’s Editor-in-Chief Cindi Leive moderated the talk between The Washington Post’s Robin Givhan, Ashley Olsen and Isaac. The group discussed Michelle Obama, the economy, Ralph Lauren’s ad scandal, fast fashion and the fate of platform heels while Mary-Kate Olsen and Justin Bartha cheered from a few rows back.

Robin and Isaac spent the first ten minutes relishing the First Lady’s effect on the fashion industry. Robin heralded the example she’s setting “for women over thirty with busy careers and families who feel disenfranchised from fashion,” while Isaac finds her balance of mass and high fashion “so inspirational.”

Cindi asked the group why the fashion industry is so hated and Robin brilliantly responded that people have no problem condescending to fashion because it’s a women’s industry.

“No one ever says spending thousands of dollars on season tickets for football is a waste of money, but spending $5000 on a dress…” to which Isaac almost jumped out of his chair in agreement.

“Right on! Misogyny rears its ugly head again!”

Ashley Olsen’s photoshoot at the Ace Hotel today was for:

a) The Row. Because if anyone makes you want to drop $400 on sunglasses, it’s an Olsen.

b) A magazine. In which case let’s guess, Vogue? Probably not. Elle? Wasn’t she in there recently? Let’s go nuts and hope it’s for Lula.

c) New movie promotion? Wait a minute, we just checked her IMDB profile and she hasn’t been in a single film, movie or commercial anything since 2004’s A New York Minute.

d) So scratch film and back to fashion, what are we missing?

photo courtesy WWDWhat’s as important to an Olsen as leather jackets and white t-shirts?

Sunglasses, duh.

The twins, who’ve grown Elizabeth & James with shoes and jewelry this past year, are ready to expand The Row. Instead of starting with bags or accessories, they’ve done sunnies.

Mary Kate told WWD, “Designing eyewear was definitely more complicated than we thought, and of course we wanted to be extremely hands-on.”

But they did manage to choose four frames, including the ones at left, in collaboration with Linda Farrow. They’ll launch this spring, starting just under $400, and sell alongside the twins’ clothes at Barneys and Bergdorf.

We just received a copy of Amanda Brooks’ new book (out September 15), I Love Your Style. And while we haven’t had a chance to really read through it, we are pretty much dying over the pictures which seem worth the cost of the book alone.

The book breaks down style types into six categories: Classic, Bohemian, High Fashion, Street, Minimal, and Eclectic. And inside we found pretty much every stylish person we’ve ever obsessed over either caught on the street, at parties, in films or just wherever they’re looking the most perfect. From Jackie O to Carolyn Bessette, Ali McGraw to MK & A, to John and Yoko, Chloe Sevigny, Jane Birkin, Carine, Anna, Kate and everyone in between.

Seriously, there are tons of famously iconic moments along with loads we hadn’t seen before. I’m taking it home for the long weekend to get some much needed Fashion Week inspiration.

It’s kind of like a giant US Weekly for the fashion set. Delicious indeed.

“I think people would be surprised that all the product is produced from the five people who work here. I think that would be shocking—that the brand seems much bigger than the actual process is.” —Ashley Olsen on the size of The Row’s team in The New York Times.

I was walking through Saks yesterday, overwhelmed by the perfection of Helmut Lang’s pre-fall collection, when I saw the BCBG skirt at left.

It was hot pink in the store, so it jumped out against the greys and blacks, and perfectly banded. The piece was tiny and stretchy with a zipper up the back just like Herve Leger’s signature bandage skirts. At this point, you can find Herve rip-offs everywhere, but it made us wonder what Mr. Azria, the man behind both Herve and BCBG, stands to gain from ripping himself off - like when Topshop ripped off Kate Moss for Topshop’s dress.

The Oscars are safe.

Starlets choose something long, something pretty, something with a jewel on top. But our Oscars, the CFDAs, are a celebration of all things fashion with a capital ‘F’ which means we get to choose best dressed, not US Weekly.

Ashley Olsen’s going to grace the cover of Hamptons magazine.

No really.

Apparently July’s all about The Row and people in the Hamptons like The Row which means she’s a perfect smack-in-the-middle-of-summer cover girl for the lifestyle magazine whose previous cover girls include Bridget Moynahan, Kelly Ripa and Katie Lee Joel.

We’re not sure where to get our hands on a copy of Hamptons, but we can’t wait to hear Ashley dish on her summer habits.

Meanwhile, the same Olsen spent some quality time at Marie Claire yesterday - here’s hoping for an Olsen-filled summer.

Julien MacDonald used to be known at the UK’s answer to Bob Mackie - Naomi Cambpell or Geri Halliwell could be depended on to open and and close his shows with furs, feathers and sequins - which meant we were surprised when Jamey Hargreaves, one of the Matalan chiefs (think the U.K Target) handpicked MacDonald last year as a major investment.

The money came, of course, with the promise that MacDonald would deliver tamer collections, focusing on his knit and tailoring talents. And the results, unveiled last London Fashion Week were killer. Since then, buyers and editors have been fervently awaiting last Friday, the Welsh designer’s pre-order day, dying to claim their own crystal-detailed dresses, leather trousers and genius knits. Unfortunately, a handful of fashion favorite starlets beat them to the punch.

Chloe Sevigny’s already hand picked a bunch of key looks and Ashley Olsen’s pulled clothes for herself, as well as for her forthcoming Harper’s Bazaar shoot.

Which means this week - the same one during which Debenham’s named the leopard print dress from his diffusion line the fastest selling garment in the retailer’s history - is a good one for MacDonald.

It also means it’s about time his clothes gets stocked on your side of the pond.

Mickey Boardman, aka Mr. Mickey, is the Editorial Director, and basically the face of Paper Magazine.

The man’s one of the busiest people I’ve ever met - and yet he positively bubbles over with enthusiasm for his job and the people he works with. The first time I met him, in an elevator at Milk Studios at one of the first fashion events I ever went to, he told me I was funny. In Paris last month, he gave me his ticket to John Galliano and introduced me to Kate and Laura Mulleavy. Needless to say, I love him.

So our Life With session turned into more than just a what-do-you-do-all-day interview. We dove into topics like his love for India, his devotion to various charities and the highlights of his sixteen-year career at Paper - the Olsens are involved, so is DVF.

His goal? To host Mr. Gay Bombay, but for now there are photo shoots to plan, web meetings to conduct and a snack run to the local deli wherein lives a fat cat lovingly christened Candy Cats Price.

We’ve always been intrigued by Mary-Kate and Ashley’s adamant choice to remain invisible from The Row.

They’ll make public appearances for Elizabeth and James and talk about it in the press, but when it comes to their $300 t-shirt line they didn’t even advertise until this season and they refuse to let themselves be too publicly associated with it.

But the retailers who are determined to sell their line through this recession can’t help but push a little bit of Olsen into the leather jackets and cotton tees. The Spring 09 editorial-like, giant size Barneys catalog was shot by Patrick Demarchelier and stars a string of current top models rocking head to toe runway looks.

On the last page Eniko wears The Row, with cleaned up Olsen hair, over-sized shades, perfectly chunky Louboutin platforms and for extra emphasis, a white paper coffee cup.

The twins might not want to be the face of The Row, they might want their clients to buy their line based on quality and design expertise, but Barneys knows it takes more than that to sell a $550 white v-neck.
