Full House Fashion: Olsen Twins Disappoint
Posted by KAT in Full HouseMarch 6th, 2009, 01:33 PM
Last night, I came across Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen’s fashion line, Elizabeth and James. The Spring 2009 collection was recently rolled out online.
The Olsen twins, of Full House (and what else? To Grandmother’s House We Go?) fame, named the line after their younger sister Elizabeth and older brother James. They claim the concept behind the supposedly low-cost line is “a clash between masculinity and femininity.” Translation: there’ll be vests involved.
I perused the Spring collection and was surprised by how devastatingly boring the clothes were - almost as snoozy as the Lauren Conrad Collection, in fact!
However, not one to be fooled by clever styling and expert photography, I decided to take a peek at looks available in the online store to see how the clothes translated from runway to regs way.
There, I was met with some of the most horrific articles of clothing I’ve ever witnessed outside of Heidiwood (another Hills fashion ref, people. Please keep up).
A few of the most mind-boggling pieces:
The leopard pocket-boob tank goes for $245, the skank tank $195, and the I-just-took-a-major-dump-in-my-pants pants are $265.
I’m no fashion expert, but I’ve seen enough episodes of Gossip Girl to know that looking like you hang out in dive bars looking for someone to buy you a Bud Light is probably not the height of fashion.
Stick to watching reruns of Full House and lamenting the fact that your childhoods were stolen from you, Olsens. Fashion designers you ain’t.

yaa ive seen the stuff in person, some of it looks really cheaply made i definitely know what you mean!! i actually tried the white blazer in my blog post on today and it wasnt as cheap material as the other things ive seen. I have a black bustier dress from them that i really like too, but some of the stuff IS badly made :/

yuck to elizabeth & james, but their higher end line, the row, has some classy, simple pieces.
