There’s The Row, and Then There’s Everyone Else

Live from Paris Fashion Week, Lauren is joined by Misty White Sidell from The New York Times to discuss the inception, rise, and triumph of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s The Row, arguably America’s one true luxury brand. They cover everything from the designers’ influence on American style and how they broke out of their child-actor prison to what makes The Row different from its European competitors, why fans are willing to pay such steep prices for their wares, what makes their sample sales special, and how they might expand their purview now that they’re valued at more than $1 billion, with backing from the likes of the Wertheimer and Bettencourt Meyers families, as well as Natalie Massenet and Nick Brown’s Imaginary Ventures and Lauren Santo Domingo’s St. Dominique Capital.
