Fashion: Olsens put their best feet forward
Those Olsen girls have got some fashion flair: their luxury label The Row
narrowly missed out on an award from the Council of Fashion Designers of
America earlier this year, and now they’ve announced a collaboration with
footwear label Toms. Rendered in the brand’s signature espadrille style,
their line swaps the standard canvas material for soft, sumptuous Italian
leather and snuggly cashmere. But just like any other pair of Toms, each
purchase will be matched by the donation of a pair of shoes to children in
the Third World. Available now, from 110, toms.co.uk
