Mary Kate & Ashley Olsen's Fall Line 'The Row' Only seems Suitable for Halloween or worse...Sleezy Striptease



I never thought I'd see the day when plain t-shirts were combined with stocking lingerie and be deemed fashionable. That's apparently the Olsen twins idea of fashion for their new 2007 Fall line. The creation of trends are drawn up by inspiration and unique creativity (typically attractive). My question is where did they receive their inspiration for this one?

Since they are already rich and famous, I'm pretty sure they can just call up some executive in the fashion industry & get started on a line without any meticulous thought and preparation. As Mary Kate mentions in the beginning of the article she didn't know a thing about fashion. Never picked up a fashion magazine. Basically, this clothing line was more on a whim, rather than years of building experience with fabrics, prints, cuts, and colors. Anybody (especially celebrities) can call themselves designers these days. I am not knocking all singers and actresses. In fact Beyonce and Gwen Stefani have extraordinary taste in clothing style.

Ashely is the mother of this project and of course Mary Kate is assisting her.
But then again 'What one man finds trash maybe another one's treasure.'

Black: The Popular color of Choice for September 20, 2007





 
Posted by Picasa


Black is a symbol of mourning and/or STRENGTH. It was a popular color chosen to be worn by supporters of Jena 6.

Another prominent color seen around that Thursday was green, which represents GROWTH.

Some people chose to wear a combination of the two colors giving an eye-catching look. Although wearing all black may come off a little morbid, those who chose to wear it (including myself)definitely stood out. Not everyone is and was aware of the Jena 6 incident but to witness a sea of black garments walking around on campuses, rallies, workfore etc. not only seemed pecuilar, it succeeded in bringing attention to the cause.
