Elizabeth and James, the up to date lifestyle brand for the new generation.

Designer duo Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen have decided to bridge the gap between designer looks and present-day fashions. The spring 2010 collection is a combination retro pop enthused pieces; created in washed down fabrics. This is a collection of attire that certainly evokes a rough downtown 80′s New York vibe.

Every item in the range has been inspired by the New York City’s Mudd Club era; the collection therefore includes tonal tie-dye elements that add depth to the luxury jersey must haves and the extremely popular and favourite buttonback shirt that has been revitalised with the addition of an amendable zippered gusset.

Strong and edgy are the key words that come to mind when seeing this collection for the first time, pieces have been styled with statement leather panels and distressed linen. These washed out and edgy fabrics are contrasted by delicate floral gauze and silk button downs.

One of the must have pieces that seems to stand out in the Elizabeth and James range is the distressed James blazer. This particular item of fashionable attire can be purchased for a price of £350 and works well thrown over a cute black dress or alternatively faded jeans and a retro T-shirt!

The Elizabeth and James line is available in most prestigious department stores stocking the brand, or alternatively it can be purchased online.

The designer duo, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are this season set to release an exciting new range of extremely stylish sunglasses. The collection will be introduced in the very near future for the girl’s Elizabeth and James label.

The next step for the girl’s is said to be a handbag collection, we can’t wait to see the creations both Ashley and Mary-Kate come up with. The stylish shades will be obtainable from November and can be purchased from the prestigious department store Harvey Nichols.
