Elizabeth Olsen Says Her Sisters Don't Dress Her

>> Elizabeth Olsen has been making style waves everywhere she goes — and lately, she's been everywhere.

>> Elizabeth Olsen has been making style waves everywhere she goes — and lately, she's been everywhere. This week alone, the 22-year-old actress has been turning heads from Paris to Park City, in brands that run the gamut from Topshop to Chanel.

In a recent interview, the star of the upcoming films Red Lights and Liberal Arts opened up about her favorite designers: "Definitely Marni and Céline"; her penchant for Proenza: "I wore an orange floral Proenza Schouler dress that I was, like, obsessed with to the W magazine pre-Golden Globes party"; and her current wardrobe go-tos: "I always wear leather pants — always from The Row."

But does Olsen ever ask her famous sisters for styling advice? "It's funny to be asked that because I don't live with them, and they don't dress me. Like, I'm an adult," she explains.

The Row

The Row Pre-Fall 2012

>> If a sleek downtown type became smitten with the English countryside, this is what she'd wear: trim button-downs tinged with jockey details, super-slim jodhpur leggings, turtlenecks made of leather, textured wool dresses, and lots and lots of fur.

>> If a sleek downtown type became smitten with the English countryside, this is what she'd wear: trim button-downs tinged with jockey details, super-slim jodhpur leggings, turtlenecks made of leather, textured wool dresses, and lots and lots of fur. The Olsens are calling it "equestrian-meets-aristocrat" — we're calling it exactly what we want right now.

Ladylike Box Bags Look Right — For Now and For Fall

>> Hey, boxy lady.

>> Hey, boxy lady. Lanvin, Celine, and Kenzo all showed hard-structured bags for Fall 2011, and ever since Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen turned up to last month's CFDA Awards sporting a pastel pair from The Row (left), this retro-inspired silhouette has been topping the hit list. Polished enough to go from office to evening, and streamlined enough to look chic with almost anything, this compact style will also take you straight from Summer to Fall with ease.

While Fall 2011 collections won't hit stores until August, that doesn't mean you can't capture a little box magic right now — J.Crew, Alexander Wang, and Akris all have similar ladylike options available now. To get in on the trend, look for super-structured satchels with single top handles, cross-body straps, and sleek, minimal hardware — or just click through to see a few of our favorites.

Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen Team Up on the Upper East Side

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen were a study in contrasts today as they headed out together in NYC's Upper East Side.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen were a study in contrasts today as they headed out together in NYC's Upper East Side. Ashley wore a neutral maxi dress, while Mary-Kate paired her new tan with a black shirt and skinny, dark jeans. The sisters and business partners did have their signature to-go coffee cups and oversized sunglasses in common. It's been a busy Summer for the pair, and while Mary-Kate's new glow might be the result of a well-deserved getaway, she and Ashley have been hard at work on their fashion empire for the past several months. Not only did they just launch their new shopping site StyleMint with a collection of t-shirts, but they're also introducing handbags to The Row and were nominated for a CFDA award.

The Row has an Aboriginal Moment in New Spring 2010 Look Book

Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen are having a mud-paint-and-twigs-as-accessories moment in their spring 2010 look book for The Row. Despite the distracting dirty limbs, we are loving that they did indeed introduce denim into the collection and, as reported, the jeans do look like vintage Levis. The knits are superb as are a pair of black leather trousers, a red leather skirt, a satin night shirt, and perfectly wrinkled blazers in white and nude.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen Launch Juniors' Collection with JCPenny

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen confirmed they have designed a juniors' line in partnership with JCPenny.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen confirmed they have designed a juniors' line in partnership with JCPenny. The collection—named Olsenboye after the twins' ancestral name—will rollout in 600 stores next February and, in the meantime, be sold in special pop up boutiques. Today, for example, there will be a mobile shopping truck cruising New York city, selling merchandise and handing out cupcakes.

According to an article in today's Women's Wear Daily, it was Mary-Kate and Ashley who approached JCPenny with the idea of a low-priced line of products for the junior market. They hope to attract a similar customer to the one who purchased their Olsen-branded bedding, furniture, clothing and cosmetics under Dualstar Entertainment Group. As Ashley explained, "Olsenboye is an extension of the Dualstar brand and we feel this collaboration complements and strengthens our business portfolio."

Seeing the enormous reach and enhanced marketing opportunities available when partnering with a mega mass retailer, the Olsens plan to use the popularity of their high-priced luxury label, The Row, and contemporary but hardly inexpensive, Elizabeth and James, to create a shopping frenzy with younger customers as they once did with the Dualstar Entertainment video empire.

Olsenboye is casual sportswear and accessories brand—offering denim, dresses, tops, skirts, shorts, jackets, handbags and accessories—and will be sold in some very un-Olsen sizes, from 0-15.
