From
Women's Wear Daily:
Sure he's worked with Anne Klein and is a longtime friend of Donna Karan. Now CFDA award-winning jewelry designer and sculptor Robert Lee Morris is partnering with a new young design duo: Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen. According to sources, the trio has been hard at work for the past few months on a collection of jewelry dubbed 
Robert Lee Morris for Elizabeth and James. Apparently the twins long have been fans of Morris and pored over his vast archives in at his headquarters in downtown Manhattan. The line of silver and brass dagger necklaces, amorphous knuckle rings and edgy earrings will bow in the next few months. A representative for Morris could not be reached for comment.
I just love the
RLM Studio line at the Q, even though listening to Robert talk about the sensual undulation of leaves and whales can be a tad unnerving at times.
The funny thing is that when I hear Robert Lee Morris and the Olsen twins, I don't immediately think about their high end lines (in fact, Queen Bea didn't even know about Elizabeth and James!) ... no, no, no ... my mind went straight to
Wal-Mart and QVC. I guess there's just no place for cutting edge "dagger necklaces, amorphous knuckle rings" where I shop!
Ummm ... is Dooney & Bourke for real with this??? It looks like a $5 Rainbow Brite kiddie purse from Wal-Mart. And QVC is selling it for Ninty.Five.Dollars. ... that's actual dollars, people! It's even itty-bitty like a kid purse (8 1/4"W x 5 1/2"H). Is this some kind of a prank or something? Are we being Punked? WTH???
