The Olsens to Launch Eyewear from The Row
By Faith
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have taken the fashion world by storm not only for their distinct personal style, but also for their fashion lines, Elizabeth James and The Row. The Olsens have recently leaped into the accessories business with jewelry and footwear for Elizabeth and James, and now they are launching their first line of eyewear for their high-end line, The Row.
The Row eyewear line will be launched in partnership with Linda Farrow eyewear. Linda Farrow is an acclaimed London-based eyewear designer and she is one of the first to have treated sunglasses as a necessary component of fashion. She is responsible for Yoko Ono’s signature looks in the 1970s and today her vintage designs are seen on the likes of Kate Moss, Kanye West, and Madonna. Linda Farrow lists Dries van Noten, Luella, and Matthew Williamson as famed designers with whom she has collaborated.
The line will feature four styles: a classic and simple aviator, a round-framed pair (a style that Mary-Kate and Ashley have been known to sport), a square-framed pair, and a pair of vintage-inspired brow-line rims. Pieces from The Row eyewear line will retail from $325-$390 and will be sold in Barneys and Bergdorf Goodman, where The Row ready-to-wear line is currently sold. No release date has been set, but stay tuned to POSHGLAM for further news. (Images courtesy of WWD)
