Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen keep on with their designing projects.

We have recently told you that the sisters launched a line of sunglasses. And now we can say about their children’s line, named Olsenboye. I just wonder when do they do all that? Or to create a line of clothes so little time is needed?

Anyway the line was made in collaboration with US department store JC Penneys and is going to be more affordable than the other two ranges the Olsens have – The Row and Elizabeth & James. The line is to hit the shelves in spring 2010.

The movie-star twins are to launch the collection in collaboration with top eyewear maker Linda Farrow. The sunglasses will range from $325 to $390 each and be available through the Olsens’ luxury label The Row.

Mary-Kate and Ashley described their new creations as “sleek and sassy”. The collection includes a classic aviator, 60s inspired round glasses, an oversized square frame and vintage inspired brow-line shades.

The new range will hit the shelves in spring 2010 and will be a test line. The sisters want to see how the designs sell before expanding the range next year.

We’re testing the market first and obviously these are four very different silhouettes, so we’re seeing what people are responding to and we’ll open up a couple more silhouettes for autumn,” Ashley said.

Joined by some of the great artists of today, we will pay tribute to the Met’s glorious history, touching on legendary moments we all wish we had heard, and reliving some whose memory we treasure. It’s sure to be fascinating.”

The Row – is the name of the new up-coming menswear clothing line from Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Vogue.com reports.

Ashley Olsen said: “When we looked in the men’s market, we couldn’t really find basics you could wear with designer – the same concept as our women’s. So we started the process with pants and blazers, because we knew it would take time to get that right.”

So the line is pointed at the older half of the men. The twins derived inspiration from their favorite menswear designers including Lanvin and Tom Ford.

Vogue also adds that the pieces will be developed “with the same premise and aesthetic as the women’s collection”.

Olsens are not going to promote the line themselves. “I prefer to be behind the scenes because I really believe the product can speak for itself.” – Ashley said.

The prices will start from $200 for a T-shirt up to over $3000 for a coat.

Let’s wait and see The Row!
