Ashley Olsen goes brunette for V Man Magazine!
Ashley Olsen stripped down to strike a few moody poses for the upcoming Summer issue of V MAN, which hits newsstands this Thursday. She chatted with Marc Jacobs about her forthcoming men’s collection for The Row, and the two designers also touched on her work ethic and the differences between her and Mary-Kate.
On doing a “celebrity line”:
“The way I look at it, I had a career as a child. I had a career in an industry in which the media kind of. . . they’re obsessed with the young girl thing. But when I turned 18, I moved to New York, and I haven’t really done anything to be a celebrity. I’ve been transitioning from acting as a kid to doing something that I’m choosing for myself — to be a part of the fashion industry. . . the outside perception is very different because you do have celebrity brands, people like Jessica Simpson and Kimora Lee Simmons, and those are celebrity brands because they have their names on them.”

On working with Mary-Kate:
“The Row is really something that I’m doing while my sister still wants to focus on acting. She’s my partner in The Row, but she trusts me with the every day. I mean, I see her like ten times a day.”
On being different from her twin sister:
“When I was 14, 15, 16, 17, it was harder because the two of us were still very similar. We had to work through what’s special about us, and then the media had to work through it. . . I’ve never been one to engage the media to say that I’m different. I actually did the opposite and I totally went internal. I was like, “See y’all!” I want to be behind the scenes, and I don’t want people to know anything about my personal life. I have a job, I take it very seriously, and I work really hard.”

As a fan of the Olsens, I’m kind of disappointed with these photos.. I don’t find them pretty at all!
