Im not a huge 'Mary-Kate and Ashley Oslen' fan but I was kinda intrigued by their new fashion collection. With 'The Row' being a big hit over the last 3 years, and especially with Kristen Stewart (Twilight star) being snapped wearing one of their dresses, is it any wonder that this new range has been just as big a hit?
But in all fairness, minus the celebrity designers, and the more affordable prices (considering 'The Row' was silly prices for what it was), are the clothes and styles actually that good?
The collection was named after the twins' younger brother and sister, Elizabeth and Trent James, therefore allowing the two girls to create a collection for both males and females. It consists of alot alot alot of black and quite a few classic looks too. From blazers to bright prints, this collection does however, have a item that will suit any figure and any fashion style.
One of the main aims for the girls when designing this collection was to create a fashion brand that closed the gap between commerical styling and designer priced products, so that girls all over the world, no matter what their finanical situation is, can afford the clothes in this collection. However, with the prices still reasonably high, Im not sure whether the twins have acheived this. On the other hand, they also wanted to blend together classical and contemporary fashions and styles to show the electric lifestyle that they lead and maybe inspire others to lead the same type of life through their clothes.
Although, its not just comtemporary and classical fashion that they are trying to effortlessly blend together, it is also that of masculine and feminine styles and trends that they want to be merged together. This is shown through the juxtaposed luxurious and floatly fabrics with the tailored and suit like blazers and smart trousers.
A reasonably good collection, but one could question the reason it is being a hit with younger girls - too follow in the footsteps of two twins who once were famous?
