The Olsens Launch TheRow.com

Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen’s The Row has kept a rather low profile since launching in 2006. The luxury line sits atop the mini-empire that includes Elizabeth and James and Olsenboye and it was, at the start, exclusively available at Barneys. But the twins are following in the footsteps of recent online converts Alexander Wang and Read more →

Guessing Games Are Fun

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 Read more →

Through Olsen-Colored Glasses

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

Quote of the Day

“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.

Reason #347 Why I Miss LA

Don’t get me wrong, New York is the best city in the world as far as I’m concerned. That’s why I had to move back after a couple of years in SoCal. But Los Angeles has things like temperate weather, hiking Runyon and Topanga, ridiculous Mexican food, Coffee Bean, and In-N-Out that I miss on Read more →

Ashley Olsen’s Cover

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.

Men on The Row

The Row, one of the only celebrity lines that manages to overcome the “celeb” part of their story even though the creatives behind it have sold more US Weekly covers than Mandy Moore, has decided to quietly expand into menswear, much like many other womenswear designers as of late. The 35 piece collection should hit Read more →
