The Row Fall 2010

The Row Fall 2010

When I learned about Mary-Kate and Ashley's brand I only imagined it like the them: Infinitely stylish, completely mesmerizing, very boho-chic, basically AMAZING. 

Well that isn't exactly what I saw, and I must say I'm quite surprised the line didn't turn out to be more vintage-hippie inspired like Nicole Richie's first collection of Winter Kate
 My first impression was ' an all black outfit ? yeahhh I love black, this collection is going to be awesome!' well it's true I love the black and the simplicity and elegance of it, but  it just feels like it's bit too much of that and not enough of something else. 

Quand j'ai appris que Mary-Kate et Ashley avaient crées une marque de vêtement, je me l'a suis tout de suite imaginée à leur image: Juste si cool, un style exemplaire qui inspire tant, très boho-chic, tout simplement INCROYABLE.

Et ben ce n'est pas exactement ce que j'ai vu, je dois dire que je m'attendais à ce qu'elle soit beaucoup plus inspirée d'un côté vintage-hippie comme la première collection de Nicole Richie.
Ma première impression était: ' une tenue toute noire ? Géniiiaaalle j'adore le noir, cette ligne va être canon!' c'est vrai que j'aime le noir et sa simplicité et élégance mais ça manquait de quelque chose.

 
 

And it's a shame because the few pieces which aren't black are absolutely gorgeous:
Et c'est dommage car les quelques pieces qui ne sont pas noirs sont tellement jolies:

     

In those two outfits they've tried to do a really edgy kind of cut, personally I don't like it and just find it weird, a bit disturbing...:
Dans ces deux tenues, les filles ont appliquées des coupes originales qui personnellement ne me plaisent pas, je les trouve un peu trop bizarres, perturbants...:


My conclusion would be that I would want to wear individually nearly every item from here but  then when you see the whole collection together, it's a bit boring.
Ma conclusion serait que individuellement les vêtement sont géniaux mais quand on regarde la collection dans l'ensemble, elle a juste l'air un peu ennuyante.


Maybe because of my love for black, maybe because of my love for the Olsens, at the end of the day I realize I can't help but actually like this collection and admit sometimes simple is the chicest .

What do you think ?

Peut-être que c'est à cause de mon amour pour le noir ou de mon admiration pour les Olsen, mais j'aime bien tout de même ces créations et je dois admettre que quelque fois plus c'est simple plus c'est chic.

Qu'en pensez-vous ?

XOXO, C.

  11. Je suis bien d'accord! Connais tu la deuxieme marque des soeurs Olsen "Elizabeth and James" ? j'adore les coupes, c'est chic et casual! J'ai d'ailleur profité des soldes pour m'acheter quelques pièces phares héhé ;)

  13. C'est vrai qu'on aurait pu s'attendre à mieux...il y a un grand manque d'originalité à mon goût. A choisir, je prendrais la robe d'un ton bleu ardoise, qui est un peu plus travaillée que le reste. Bref, ça manque de punch !

  15. Je ne suis pas fan de toute la collection, mais par contre, j'aime bcp les 4 premières tenues: bohème chic, tissu léger, fluide et soyeux, et noir (tjs classe quoi qu'il arrive): tout à fait l'image de ces 2 soeurs!!

  18. Ca reste simple mais beau. Dommage qu'il y ait beaucoup de noir!(parce que du coup, on visualise mal les pièces)

  21. Nothing special but I like it!

  22. I think they're not too attention grabbing like some runway shows. These pieces are more wearable and practical i think. (: A little masculine feel, and simplicity is beautiful too! :D

    I kinda like this, collection, thanks so much for sharing!

    Love,
    Gets

  23. For me it feels like they tried too much to be elegant and it became surprising - because everyone were waiting for something different.
    however - those outfits are still very good.

  24. Eh bien je ne partage pas ton avis, j'aime notamment beaucoup le manteau ceinturé du bas! Mais peut-être est-ce ma passion pour MK aussi...

    ReplyDelete
  25. Je suis d'accord avec toi, rien de bien transcendant, faut voir la prochaine peut-être..

  26. I have no insight except that I love that blue dress. I would definitely wear it.

    ReplyDelete
  27. this is an amazing collection.. these girls are doing a very well job.

    ReplyDelete
  28. J'aime beaucoup certains looks, mais pas tout! Enfin, on voit plus leur personnalité que dans leur ancienne marque très "bubble gum" pour petites filles où elles mettaient juste marykateandashley sur des fringues. (y)
    J'espère que le prochain article te plaira!

  31. I like the dresses, but the collection as a whole is quite boring. I would have expected a bit more from the Olsen twins. Maybe they're saving the surprises for later!

  33. Tu as raison, ce n'est pas exceptionnel, il manque quelquechose, de l'originalite? un detail qui change tout? j'adore leur style aussi mais je crois qu'en tant que fashion designers elles ont encore du chemin a faire...

  34. C'est vrai que leur pièce n'ont pas vraiment l'air originales ni très innovantes. Il manque un petit quelque chose pour twister tout ça...

    ReplyDelete
  35. The girls seem to be in a dark mood, but independent of the colour, the clothes are looking pretty cool! xoxo

    ReplyDelete
  36. actually I think the same as you
    I expected a bit more from mk and ashley,
    these pieces are great, but the whole collection itself was too black
    I love that white dress you've posted, it's gorgeous
    hope you're having a nice weekend

  38. La simplicité c'est la beauté je dirai. J'aime bien la collection Olsen mais c'est vrai qu'on attendrait quand même un truc plus " ouf". Le nom de on blog est juste extra ;D

    ReplyDelete
  39. i agree, i think simple is the chicest and i loove black! its classy and sophisticated but with a little edge.

    ReplyDelete
  40. I realize that The Row's clothing is really simple, but I think it's supposed to be more about tailoring and fit as opposed to trends. I like their Elizabeth and James line as well, i think it has a bit more character and usually features some more fashion forward pieces.

  41. Your blog is great darling, and I absoulutely adore these two.. they should be praised over and over.

  42. Elizabeth and James is more my speed but I do love that little white dress!

    ReplyDelete
  43. I think you are right, each black piece in their collection is gorgeous but it doesn't do it justice styled as it is.
    I love the Olsens, but fashion designers without much experience have a hard time pairing things to where they are aesthetically pleasing, I think its an eye that comes with time.

  44. I love your blog, you know really much about fashion!!
