Ashley Olsen is virtually unrecognisable able in a brunette wig and black bra in the latest issue of VMAN.

The petite blonde even appears to have curves as she vamps it up for the camera in the edgy black and white shoot.

Ashley tells the magazine that she is abandoning her career as an actress to pursue her dream of fashion design full-time.

She says: "I've been transitioning from acting as a kid to doing something that I'm choosing for myself - to be part of the fashion industry.

"That's what I want for my future. It has nothing to do with my past, nothing to do with anyone else's agenda. And I followed my heart the whole way.

"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 everyday. I mean, I see her like 10 times a day."

Ashley urges critics not to dismiss her line as just another celebrity brand by taking a pop a fellow actress-turned-'designer' Jessica Simpson.

She adds: "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 it."
