Olsen Twins Launch Denim Line

With all the fashion lines rolling, the Olsen twins have announced a denim-based secondary collection under their “Elizabeth and James” contemporary label. Named Textile Elizabeth and James, the denim lineup will consist of three jean designs with a strong seventies vibe, inspired by the Olsen’s actual wardrobe. Check out the Olsen twin’s denim line!

In two weeks Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen will bring their high end label “The Row” to their first fashion presentation at New York Fashion Week. Today, the Olsen twins are launching their junior brand, called “Olsenboy”.

But there’s more to come; the twins have announced a denim-based secondary collection under their “Elizabeth and James” contemporary label.

The denim project is called Textile Elizabeth and James and will launch in March.
The three-jean lineup will have a strong Seventies vibe, inspired from actual jeans in the Olsen twins’ own wardrobe, with one pair dating back to their high school years.

The denim line consists of the Hendrix jean with a slight bell-bottom, the lowrise Stevie and a cropped, high-waisted jean, the Joni.

The Olsen twins’ Textile Elizabeth and James jean collection will be launched in March exclusively at Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus and Intermix and will wholesale from $106 to $111.

For the fall, Mary-Kate and Ashley plan to launch a whole lifestyle collection for the line.
“We’re talking about the favorite things you want to wear with your jeans, like the ultimate flannel shirt,” said Jane Siskin, president and chief executive officer of L’Koral Industries, which produces Elizabeth and James as well as Olsenboye.

“Elizabeth and James is a name the customers really relate to,” said Siskin. “To give them this other piece of their wardrobe, with the same brand, is an easy connect.”

Last night, I hit up 3rd Street Promenade in Santa Monica with my Banana Republic 40% off coupon (the week before they were handing out ‘give back’ coupons when you made a purchase). Well ladies, I scored one of the best deals ever!!! I bought this lovely leather jacket at 40% off!! The leather feels like buttah.

Anyways, if you’re a Banana Republic online shopper, check out today’s deal! Happy Shopping.

Happy Monday! Hope you all had a great weekend. I know I’m a tad late on posting this but here are my favourites from NYC Bridal Market. I’ve grouped them by ‘trends.’ Let me know what you think!

Black seems to be the “colour du jour.” Even black ribbon sashes adorned Vera Wang’s dresses (see below). I am loving the red dress below. Bold, bright and elegant – perfect for a bride paying respects to her Asian heritage.

I’m loving this ‘woven in ribbon’ (sorry, I have no idea what the proper term is!) look in both the Carlina Herrara and Anne Barge dresses below.
