The Olsens are adding eyewear to their fashion repertoire, with plans to launch a collection for The Row this spring. The shades come in four classic shapes (oversize? check) and will retail from $325 to $390. There’s a joke in here about seeing double, but we’ll spare you. [WWD]
L.L.Bean makes a play for a chicer customer. L.L.Bean Collection, “aimed at a younger and more urbane audience,” features Maggie Rizer in the ads and Rogues Gallery’s Alex Carleton in the designer chair. Expect reworked favorites like the duck boot, their classic canvas tote, and plenty of other “WASP casual” attire. [WWD]
Heidi Samuel, née Klum, and hubby Seal welcomed their fourth child, Lou Sulola Samuel, on Friday. [Us Weekly]
Kanye West’s fashion line, Pastelle, launched very quietly yesterday and then…it disappeared. Reports vary, but we’ve gathered that while Pastelle is never coming out, the rapper does have another line in the works. Based on this lookbook goose chase, we won’t get our hopes up. [High Snobiety]
The Limited’s Soho pop-up shop pops tomorrow. But this is not your middle school brand: The suiting has “interesting necklines” and there will be rompers aplenty. [WWD]
If the rumors are true, Escada is next in line to be saved from bankruptcy. Take that, economy. [Vogue U.K.]
Punching and posing. Arlenis Sosa likes boxing, Oscar de la Renta, and besties Jourdan Dunn and Karlie Kloss. [W Magazine]

Ugh, please. I would not be caught dead in anything an Olsen twin has “designed.” Why the hell are they still around anyway? Just do what other washed up child stars do and fade into the distance. Do us all the favor MK&A, for the love of fashion.
