If you're curious as to why the twins were intrigued by that particular district, then pick up The London Cut: Savile Row Bespoke Tailoring by James Sherwood ($17).

On Our Radar: See MK & Ashley's 'The Row' Collection!
We finally have a sneak peek at Mary Kate and Ashley's most recent creations for their fashion line, The Row. Named after Savile Row, a corner in Central London famous for its top-notch tailored suits, their line has been pretty hush hush since its launch last Fall. I actually went to Barneys in Manhattan a couple of months ago to purchase a piece or two, but the only thing left was one simple black tank dress and it was crazily overpriced.
Ziji Garbardine Button Down Dress: Love It or Hate It?
This tailored dress reminds me of Alexander McQueen's early days. While I am a huge McQueen fan I realize not everyone finds his off-kilter tailoring very wearable. By Ziji, $330, and available here this cool steel colored dress is made from a Dacron/wool blend and has clean asymmetric hemming.
One For The Guys: Armani's Custom-Made Suits
In 2005 Giorgio Armani launched a very special haute-couture collection for women called Prive. For almost two years, the men have waited their turn, and now the time has come: Armani just launched his newest specialty for men, dubbed Fatto a Mano su Misura, or "handmade to measure" in boring old English.
The new line offers two different style options for suit jackets and blazers, which may sound like slim pickings until you hear about the endless array of choices regarding fabrics, colors, buttons, pockets, and other details.
