Elizabeth and James Spring 2013

Ever since Full House I have been a huge Olsen fan (and I owned just about every single one of their videos…on VHS). To look back at where they were and what they’re doing now just blows me away. Not many people know how to make a $34,000 backpack and design wearable, affordable clothes at the same time. That’s why I consider Mary-Kate and Ashley the design geniuses of our generation. And it was an honor to attend the Elizabeth and James presentation Wednesday afternoon.

So instead of me reminiscing about the 90s and how much I love the Olsens, let’s talk about Elizabeth and James Spring 2013.

Christian Siriano’s Modern Ballerina

Although I missed the first few looks of the show (thank you NYC traffic) I ran into Eyebeam (literally sprinted down 21st in Valentino wedges) eager to see what Siriano had in store for Spring ’13. After his vampire bat inspired Fall ’12 collection, I was a little surprised to see this…
