Art School Friends Help Design Olsenboye

Despite their fashionista statuses, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s friends helped them design their latest fashion range.
The 23-year-old twins - who already have two clothing lines, The Row and Elizabeth + James - recently launched their new junior range, Olsenboye, and wanted input from their peers.
Mary-Kate said, “We’ve been working with our friends who are our age and in art school.”
Ashley added, “They’ve helped out with the art on the web sites and doing the commercials and the videos.”
The line - which is aimed mainly at teenagers, with most price tags under $50 - is sold exclusively at JCPenney and the girls are thrilled to be working with them. Mary-Kate told People, “All the people at JCPenney have totally embraced all of our friends that have now participated in these projects and it’s a lot of young talent and I think it’s really exciting.”
Ashley also revealed she is looking forward to next season’s looks as she’s not a huge admirer of the over-exaggerated shoulder look: “I’m a fan of strong shoulders, but I think the extreme shoulder, to me - it takes a very special person to pull it off. And I’m kind of ready to move on from that.”

JCPenney to Carry Mango Line
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, News, Rumors, Sales,
Spanish-based clothing retailer Mango is moving into 600 JCPenney stores across the states by Fall 2010.
With both Charlotte Ronson and the Olsen twins stationing their own lines there, the department store seems to be making its way up the fashion industry ladder! While Mango has already set up 12 stand-alone shops in the US, it is nothing compared to its international number at 1,200; it is clear that the partnership is aimed at broadening its American presence.
Although the I Heart Ronson line isn’t too bad, there was nothing special about that line nor the Olsenboye range. This makes me wonder if Mango will be altering their clothes to fit the JCPenney look once they’re in the stores—the last time I ever step foot in the department store, I’m fairly sure I didn’t see any sweaters priced at $70.
Either way, I’m more concerned about having to prepare myself for a bombardment of Scarlett Johansson ads when I do my back-to-school shopping!
