Elizabeth and James is the name of the new buzz in the fashion industry. In a very short time, Elizabeth and James have established themselves as one of the top ten clothing designers of the United States.
They are one of the few companies that make fashion news. Their extended line of fashion accessories and clothing attracts the attention of stars and has been making celebrity fashion style for some time now. Described as the 'modern lifestyle brand of the new generation', Elisabeth and James seek to bridge the gap between the designer and the one who wears the clothes. With this philosophy in mind, many of the products by Elizabeth and James have been co-designed by Mary Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen, giving a fresh appeal to fashion design.

From working with Richard Avedon and Diana Vreeland, to starring in Tom Ford's recent fashion show, longtime uber-model Lauren Hutton has enjoyed one of the fashion industry's most enduring careers.
'I became a model to see the world, to make enough money to travel and experience other cultures,' she explains in the February issue of Harper's Bazaar. 'I knew I had to get to New York to get to Africa.'
And with a career spanning almost five decades and well into her mid-60s, she posed for Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's 2008 lookbook.
'I think I was 64 at the time and they were 22. I thought that was fantastically hip. I did it, and they paid me in clothes, which is great,' she notes, showing off the jeans and workmans shirt she's wearing - both from the Row.
Adds Ashley, 'She stays true to herself. I think that's what's reflected in her photographs,' says Ashley, to which M-K adds - 'She took a chance on a brand that no one knew just because she liked it. We think of her as our fairy godmother.'
