Her New York Times byline notwithstanding, Mary-Kate Olsen (and sis Ashley) have a distrustful relationship with the press, at least when it comes to their own fashion line. You know, The Row? Which is supposedly available at Maxfield and Barneys? But who's actually seen the clothes? Not stern NYT fashion critic Cathy Horyn—and she won't be seeing them anytime soon. WWD reports that the Olsen gals are "scheduled" to emerge, elf-like, at Paris Fashion Week, where the fall-winter collection of their "fledgling designer ready-to-wear" label will debut. But! "A slate of high-end retailers is scheduled to see their fall-winter collection at a showroom here —with no cranky press critics, thank you very much." Those twins are just so sensitive.
