Olsens to Launch Men’s Line for Elizabeth & James

Edited by Andy Wass

Mary-Kate and Ashley sure are keeping busy!

They’re already working on a menswear line for The Row and an Elizabeth & James shoe line with Steve Madden.

Now, just weeks after the sneak peek at the men’s pieces for The Row, WWD has reported that the Olsens will also launch a menswear line for Elizabeth & James. It will be available at Barney’s this fall.

Ashley said the collection will be “about balancing uptown and downtown.” The sisters reportedly found inspiration in Oliver Twist and Peter Pan’s Lost Boys.

SNEAK PEEK: Elizabeth & James Shoes

ONTD had a little sneak peek at the forthcoming Elizabeth & James footwear line.  I’d expect something a little more platformy from Mary-Kate, but I’m excited to see what else the Olsens have in store.

The collab with Steve Madden, hitting stores in March, will retail from $195-$500.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have teamed up with Steve Madden for an Elizabeth & James shoe line.

Slated to hit stores in mid-2009, the Olsens will serve as creative directors to Madden’s design and sales team.

As a regular fan of MK’s shoe choices, I am quite excited to see what they come up with!
