Olsen Twins To Launch New Line Olsenboye for JCPenney

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are launching a new affordable fashion line called Olsenboye, which will be sold exclusively at JCPenney stores beginning in November. The sisters announced the launch on Good Morning America (catch the video here). While Olsenboye is geared towards the tween and teen set, Ashley says in the interview that certain pieces will appeal to women of all ages. "It's really about quality and price and style," she says. "[W]e really wanted it to be lighthearted and just kind of a great line for really any age."

The Olsenboye collection will feature denim, bottoms, tops, dresses, skirts, shorts, jackets, handbags and shoes ranging from $20 to $50. Check out the promotional video below for a peek at the collection. You know I go ga-ga for just about any designer collab but everything looks really generic, no? Weird. I'll wait to pass judgment until I see more images of the collection.

Jean Paul Gautier Next Up for Target

Jean Paul Gaultier is doing a Target collection, reports The Cut via WWD. The over-the-top designer's collection will be available at more than 250 Target stores across the country and Target.com on March 7 through April 11.

Following Alexander McQueen and Anna Sui, Gaultier is the third established designer to do a collection for the mass retailer under the Designer Collaboration series. His chosen muse? The American woman, "celebrating the forces of style both past and present in American pop culture," a Target spokesperson says.

I remember being thrilled by Gautier's risque designs as a young girl (Madonna's cone-bra corset comes to mind). My mother's dislike of his iconic female/male perfume bottles only made me want them more; both still sit prominently displayed in my glass bathroom cabinet. This Frenchman holds a special place in my heart so I look forward to what he'll bring to Target audiences.
