The Row

Since we are in the lull before Fashion Week begins later this month, with fashionistas and fashion houses alike tending to last minute outfit changes and show stylings, I thought I would look back at one of my favourite Designers from last season;

The Row was started in 2007 by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. It almost happened by chance, as Ashley set out to design the perfect "plain white tee" for herself and inadvertantly produced a must have garment for women of all shapes and sizes all over America. From there, Ashley and her twin sister, Mary-Kate, have taken the fashion world by storm by creating utterly understated, wearable and yet luxurious clothes in collections which do not disappoint from season to season.

The Row's designs are constantly well tailored, made with sumptuous fabrics and styled with covetable accessories. 


I love this fur jacket! Perfect with the leopard scarf and shoes!

The running theme of the collection was a form of relaxed tailoring; the high quality tailoring is a constant, with a slight edge appearing in the carrot shaped cropped trousers and oversized, sloping hoods.

The price of the collection remains true to the couture world The Row resides in with a dress setting you back at least £1,000 and a simple t-shirt £200 or more, but with the fabrics and tailoring being second to none, it is worth it for investment and staple basics which will last for years to come.

I for one am looking forward to what they come up with next...
