I was reluctant to write about Mary-Kate’s and Ashley’s collection for JCPenney. I agree with my friend Clare‘s opinion regarding the new collection and the designers behind it. Clare stated the following, “Mary Kate and Ashley are forever making these lines of crap clothes. If I remember correctly they used to (or still do) have a clothing line at Wal Mart (or K Mart) or the something. However, these girls just commission cheap designers to make cheap clothes, slap their name on the tag, and then sell them to masses and make millions off of them. These girls have like 16 “clothing lines” but I doubt either one of them can sew on a button.” and I just couldn’t agree more. I can’t imagine trying to become a designer today. Or anything in a field that requires originality because celebrities have submerged themselves in every single industry. They’ve submerged themselves in to the music industry, acting industry, design industry and the modeling industry just to name a few. It’s getting so old.
Anways, the twins announced that they were designing a junior’s collection for JCPenney. The collection will be titled “Olsenboye” (that’s such a weird name!? but according to NYMag it’s their Norwegian ancestral name) and should hit stores nationwide in the upcoming months. Below are some photos of the twins at Union Square yesterday:
I’m sorry if I lack enthusiasm regarding this announcement.
Watch the teaser for the collection here:
Okay here’s the thing, gorgeous. Mary Kate and Ashley are forever making these lines of crap clothes. If I remember correctly they used to (or still do) have a clothing line at Wal Mart (or K Mart) or the something. However, these girls just commission cheap designers to make cheap clothes, slap their name on the tag, and then sell them to masses and make millions off of them. These girls have like 16 “clothing lines” but I doubt either one of them can sew on a button. I dunno MK&A are kind of annoying. Lol
And JCP?? For realz?
I’m going to post your comment in this blog post!! I couldn’t have said it better myself.
Kaitlyn as I was reading this I thought about what sort of pain you must have endured to post this…but way to explore all the avenues ;) These twinbos….that’s my word for twins combined with bimbo…make too much money for doing exactly what Clare says. And as you say, people now get into these industries because they already have an in. They think that being an artist in one profession makes them an artist in another. Definitely not true. The true artists are being attacked by these little ankle-biter wannabes. Sure, explore different career paths, but when you have already made enough money to live excessively and superfluously for doing something that you were not good at after you were a toddler (because let’s be honest, as soon as they could talk, they were annoying), it’s time to admit that your run is over!
Anyway, nicely done to report this, as it is relevant to fashion, but know that as soon as I read “I’m sorry if I lack enthusiasm regarding this announcement” I cracked up and my heart went out to you as you give merit to serious designers on your page, but took a leap to include something different!
Great blogpost, thanks a lot!
