mary kate and ashley were among 31 new members inducted into the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA)on July 21st.
the duo join a high caliber including marc jacobs and philip lim in recognition of their contribution to american fashion through both their labels ‘elizabeth & james’ and ‘the row’.
contrary to some WTF reactions - i say more than well deserved. YES they have had an easier road than most up & coming labels with enough money, fame and celebrity exposure to drown themselves in - but they’ve done something fabulous with it and there is no doubt their designs can stand alone. CFDA president Diane Von Furstenberg must be among the majority who see the obvious: that this in NOT victoria beckham making jeans with diamantes, or jessica simpson selling hair extensions. a far far far cry from many a-list stars: the girls actually have style and taste. and most importantly its their own.
and it shows. looky here:
