Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen Working On A Jewelry Line

Filed under: Jewelry, Celebrity Shopping

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen were once tween moguls but just because they are all grown up that doesn't mean their dealmaking days are done. The pair will be collaborating with jewelry designer Robert Lee Morris on a licensed jewelry line. The collection will be named Robert Lee Morris for Elizabeth and James. Elizabeth and James, named for the Olsens's siblings, is their contemporary fashion line. The jewelry line will be more than 80 pieces with an urban flair including metal cuffs, turquoise beading and designs with daggers and crosses. The pieces will arrive in Intermix stores this fall and will retail from $65 to $700.

So Rich They Can Afford to Look Poor

Filed under: Apparel

There is apparently a point at which some excessively rich individuals decide to do away with decent standards of dress altogether. They are literally so loaded they can afford to look homeless; their rags become a sort of reverse status symbol. In fact, as author Paul Fussell noted in Class: A Guide Through the American Status System, shabby clothes "advertise how much of conventional dignity [the upper classes] can afford to throw away. The wearing of clothes excessively new or excessively neat and clean suggests that your social circumstances are not entirely secure."

We'd like to think that's the reason behind the appearance of the celebs on Nerve's new list of the "Top 10 Rich People Who Look Poor." It would certainly seem to be for notoriously-underdressed billionaire Condé Nast owner Si Newhouse, who clocks in at # 7. But we think it's more than likely that the Olsen Twins (#6), Britney Spears (#3) and Amy Winehouse (#1), who's reportedly worth $20 million, are actually just slobs. Check out the full list here.

The Row by Ashley Olsen

Filed under: Apparel

The Olsen twins already have their own fashion line for younger girls at Wal-Mart and they aged-up their image a bit by modeling for designers earlier this year. Now, Ashley Olsen is planning to launch her own designer line of clothing, called The Row at some point in the not-too-distant future, as indicated by the fact that she appeared in a piece of her own design over the weekend: the cropped tartan jacket, pictured. We will have to wait to see whether the girls' taste for shapeless, heavy clothes carries into the line and onto the runway. Anyone else wonder why Mary Kate doesn't seem to be joining in the venture?

The Olsen Twins Model For Badgley Mischka

Filed under: Apparel, Celebrity Shopping

In the latest mix of celebrity and high-end fashion, Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen are modeling for Badgley Mischka. The tiny twins will appear in the ad campaign which will be in April fashion magazines.  Gilles Bensimon shot the girls in their fancy glam garb in the presidential suite of the St. Regis hotel. WWD reports that the girls are also fans of the line and each has ordered six dresses from the designers. The girls look lovely but posed as they are in this hotel hallway they remind me of the ghost twins from the Shining. Eerie.
