>> Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen continue to pick up speed on their no-Olsen-name-attached luxury line, The Row.  Next Spring, they're launching four distinct eyewear silhouettes in collaboration with Linda Farrow; no footwear or handbags yet — they have their "hands full" already, they told WWD.

The styles, priced from $325-$390, include aviators, vintage-inspired shades with brow-line rims, oversized square-framed sunnies, and one sixties-style round pair — similar to the shape Mary-Kate often favors. "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 fall,” Ashley said. “We tried to find certain pieces that look good on more than one face, to pay close attention to how they fit certain faces and make them wearable at the same time.”

>> W, Vogue Budget Cut Updates —Although it was rumored last week that W might be going bimonthly, the magazine's chairman and editorial director Patrick McCarthy says the cut in frequency won't be happening.  Vogue, however, has supposedly started undergoing staffing cuts — on the business side.
