“We really wanted it to feel like a breath of fresh air,” says Ashley Olsen, referring to her and her sister **Mary-Kate’**s spring collection for The Row. As such, they’re using featherweight, almost sheer fabrics in every shade of white with hints of pinks and blues. They’re still working in their loose, slouchy silhouette and have designed the breezy tanks, soft jackets, and full-leg pants to be layered judiciously. “Ethereal” is a word that comes up often.
There’s no sign yet of the influence they took from **Nick Cave’**s wild, over-the-top sound suits they saw at the Seattle Art Museum over the summer, but do look out for additions to their growing accessories collection—two new bag shapes (flat and doctor style), plus travel wallets, iPad cases, and oversize square sunglasses.
