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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/austin-butler) star going brunette and dressing in menswear from The Row. That’s the [first-ever menswear collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/perry-ellis1) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tough-guys-soft-sweaters) 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.” Ashley Olsen was photographed by Sebastian Faena for VMan. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 48% | Activity: 61% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Celebs](https://www.trendhunter.com/celebs) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Gender-neutral Fashion:** Opportunity for brands to create clothing lines that blur traditional gender boundaries and cater to a diverse customer base. - **Celebrity Fashion Lines:** Potential for celebrities to venture into designing and launching their own clothing collections, leveraging their fame and influence in the fashion industry. - **Casual Chic Menswear:** Growing market for comfortable and stylish menswear that appeals to both men and women, offering a new avenue for fashion designers to explore. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Retail:** Opportunity for fashion retailers to expand their offerings and appeal to a wider customer base by incorporating gender-neutral clothing lines. - **Celebrity Management:** Potential for talent management agencies to collaborate with celebrities in launching their own fashion lines, tapping into the lucrative fashion market. - **Menswear Design:** Chance for fashion designers to create menswear collections that prioritize comfort and style, resonating with a modern and fashion-forward consumer base. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Intimate Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat.md) - [Magazine-Joint Premium Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/otw-by-vans-and-hommegirls.md) - [Celebrity-Designed Street Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/victoria-beckham-2.md) - [Debut Womenswear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/johnnie-o.md) - [Identity-Exploring Clothing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shapes-we-take.md) - [Cinematic Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles.md) - [Multimedia Artist Menswear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/madewell-x-one-of-these-days.md) - [Model-Off-Duty Essentials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modeloffduty-essentials.md) - [Redefined Masculinity Branding](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tough-guys-soft-sweaters.md)
