"MEN! Give. Me. Your. CLOTHES." That’s the demand Ashley Olsen makes in the Summer 2009 issue of VMan magazine.
"The Other Face of Ashley Olsen" shows the Hollywood star going brunette and dressing in menswear from The Row. That’s the first-ever menswear collection by Ashley and her sister Mary-Kate Olsen, which will be launched this coming fall.
In the interview, Ashley explains her approach to menswear: "When it’s not about fashion. When you have no idea what brand it is. When it’s worn and feels good. To touch a man who has a soft sweater on, a soft pant, a great jacket, or something that, as a woman, I want to take off him and put on and feel sexy in."
