Line We Love: Elizabeth & James

Elizabeth and James Cascade Dress in Dark Thistle

This celeb design duo gets it.

When Elizabeth & James, the contemporary line by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, launched two summers ago we chalked it up to more celebrities capitalizing on their fame to sell clothing.  Well, we misjudged. Season after season the design duo turns out plenty of things we want to wear. We especially love the Spring 2009 collection because it perfectly mixes chic masculine and feminine pieces and tops them off with just the right dose of edge. You know what else we love? Unlike many other celeb-designers these girls wear their own clothes. We love this purple dress and could see MK pairing it with killer black gladiator stiletto heels. At Revolve Clothing.
