Happy 23rd, Mary-Kate & Ashley!

FabSugar — Sat, 13 Jun 2009 07:23:22 -0700

Today is a special day. On June 13, in 1986, two future fashionistas - Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen - entered this world. And I'm glad they did. I can't imagine the world without Mary-Kate's hobo chic. She has outgrown that baggy-clothes phase, but continues to do her own thing. Then there's Ashley, the chic minimalist, anti-accessory. Give her a simple black Calvin Klein dress and killer shoes and she's golden. Then, of course, there are their fashion lines, The Row and Elizabeth and James. Speaking of, E&J's new shoe line is ready to devour. Let's all wish our favorite twins a happy 23rd by checking out their most innovative outfits through the years.

Are You Interested in Buying Elizabeth and James Footwear?

FabSugar — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 12:00:22 -0800

When we first found out Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen were to create a shoe line with Steve Madden, we were elated with the thought of buying funky footwear at an affordable price. We like the Victorian meets dominatrix style, seen left, but the prices are far from desirable. The collection is set to retail from $195 to $500, which is unusually high since Steve Madden offerings typically range from $70 to $250. The line is slated to hit high-end stores in March; are you still interested in their shoes?

Our favorite twins are at it again and we couldn't be happier, or rather, our BFs couldn't be happier. Next on tap for Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen: designing a men's collection.

The line will be a part of their upper-tier label, The Row. Ashley came up with the idea and has started the design process for the collection which is rumored to debut in Fall '09. Ashley is known for her cool mixed masculine style so it kind of makes sense. Excitement for all.

Sneak Peek! Elizabeth and James Fall '08 Collection

FabSugar — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 15:00:22 -0700

There are only a few things that can make me literally drop everything I'm doing and one of them is anything Olsen related. So that's your cue - stop everything you're doing because Elizabeth and James's Fall '08 collection photos have arrived! Seeing as how you all loved our Elizabeth and James Spring giveaway, we thought you'd appreciate these.

As with any project that Mary-Kate and Ashley undertake, their newest line is a fusion of gritty and girlie. Just what the Olsens ordered. Draped dresses are paired with sheer tights, menswear suits are prettied with tie-neck blouses, and tulip skirts are toughened up with black tees. The theme this time around is rock 'n' roll. Old-school vinyl records, guitar cases, and recording studios set the tone. Rock on sistas, rock on.
