28 year old Charlie Salvo and 26-year old Luke Walker are menswear designers for Lanvin. Luke is from the Midlands and Charlie is from Chile by way of Sweden. the jolly duo met in Lanvin’s studio in Paris and sharing a love for sharp tailoring and eccentricity became firm friends ever since.
what do you love most about each other? L: his not-so-secret toy obsession.
C: that he thinks he lives in a different era.
what do you love most about fashion? L: its heritage. and its hysterical. C: the emotion it gives.
what do you love most about life? L: the wind, it makes me feel like i’m 7 again, and strong cheddar. C: eating chocolate and riding my bike.
describe your personal style.. L: anachronistic. C: John Maikovich meets Veronica Lake.
David-Ivar Herman Dune is a 33-year old singer/painter from Israel. he’s pictured here with his good friend and partner in crime, 35-year old Lomographic Ambassador Peter Boesch from Lustenau, Austria. when they’re not working, Peter likes to entertain David by playing records.
what do you love most about each other? D: his love for life, the joy he feels about little things, his kindness and his taste for Bruce Springsteen. P: his unbound enthusiasm and curiosity, his attention to detail, how smart and simple he is to be with. we went through some rough periods and David was always there for me.
what do you love most about fashion? D: the shoe designer Marion Hanania.
P: craftsmanship, materials, classics.
what do you love most about life? D: i love that there’s a word for life in many languages, and that we can use that word to refer to the most complex, wonderful, miraculous and beautiful thing. P: the vast wickedness of the human imagination. think fetish sites, Large Hadron Collider, Wes Anderson and my friends. i am privileged and grateful to have them.
describe your personal style.. D: that would be an odd and self-absorbed thing to do. P: gentleman farmer with a Bic Quatre Couleur. which probably is my equivalent to the Alan Partridge Blazer Patch.

you never know where falling in love will take you. for history’s quixotic poets and artists, it may have been the cause of eternal anguish, yet for love-strcuk Danish creative Henrik Vibskov, it proved to be the catalyst for a dream career in fashion.
‘there was a girl i fancied who planned to go to London’s Central Saint Martins to study fashion, and i just said, ‘yeah, me too,’ remembers Vibskov. ‘so i called Saint Martins and got an interview appointment the next day, i prepared a file during the night, jumped on the plane, and got into the course.. i also got the girl actually.’
– Indigo Clarke
they loved each other, not driven by necessity, by the 'blaze of passion' often falsely ascribed to love. they loved each other because everything around them willed it, the trees and the clouds and the sky over their heads and the earth under their feet. perhaps their surrounding world, the strangers they met in the street, the wide expanses they saw on their walks, the rooms in which they lived or met, took more delight in their love than they themselves did.

they explored separate interests: Architecture for Ashley, Photography for Mary-Kate. but where they met then, and still meet now, is at fashion, and that’s what they’re here to discuss. The Row consists mainly of expensive knit T-shirts with fancy French seams, and a few minimalist separates, like a well-cut blazer and a tight, banded miniskirt in the style of Hervé Léger. the palette is as minimal as the collection: black, white, cream, gray, the occasional shot of red, and the label itself, a small, easy-to-miss gold chain embossed THE ROW. it’s like the Olsens themselves in its simultaneous desire to be both noticed and hidden. she suggested additions to the line, like oversize man-tailored pants. they like simple, somewhat anonymous pieces and loads of accessories. a tiny leather jacket with little ruched sleeves.
'i was studying Architecture and Psychology and i loved it, but i kept thinking about t-shirts and how to make the perfect one. it was my dad who said, ‘you should do it.’ w
whether The Row will attract the customers who buy Alaïa and Ghesquière is an open question. all of their peices are classic and basic. you could live your life in that whole collection and never need anything else. it's genius.
oh and dont forget to mention that the girls have also been enducted into CFDA (council of fashion designers of america) which pretty much validates their work and shits on whatever it is you think you're talking about.
'what it always comes down to is simple, clean lines and beautiful fabrics,' Ashley Olsen said at a promotions event in Dallas yesterday. 'the whole collection is based on fit and quality.'
