Innocent Ashley Olsen stripped down to her bra for the latest issue of V Man magazine. Supposedly it wasn’t one of those random “look at me!” photo shoots – Ashley’s menswear line for The Row, her upscale designer brand created with sister Mary-Kate, is launching in the fall. Ashley gave one of those in-depth interviews the Olsens are famous for. You know, where they talk about what kind of fabrics they like.
There’s something sort of unsettling about seeing Ashley Olsen in just her bra. She’s 22, she’s allowed. I think it’s just because she looks the exact same as she did when she was 12 – just a teeny bit taller. I feel like I’m supposed to look away.
Ashley Olsen strips to a bra and bares her midriff in the Summer 2009 issue of V Man magazine.
Olsen, 22, also dons a brown wig for the photo shoot, done to promote the launch of The Row’s menswear line this fall. She designs the brand with her sis, Mary-Kate.
So when does a guy’s style attract her?
“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,” says Olsen.
Olsen is more content designing these days, but her sister, “still wants to focus on acting,” she says. “I see her like 10 times a day.”

The Olsen’s upscale fashion lines have gotten some great reviews. Both Elizabeth & James and The Row are considered well-designed and creative. It’s strange since Mary-Kate has such an odd “fashion” sense, though I can certainly appreciate Ashley’s style.
Ashley’s definitely been courting the press a bit more than usual lately. She did an interview with Marie Claire and shot some cute pictures of herself while getting prepped for the (fully clothed) photo shoot. She looks like a happy and sweet girl; very different from the seductress of V Man magazine. Surely we’ll see a lot more of her in the next few months as The Row’s menswear launch approaches. The question remains: where’s Mary-Kate?
