Ashley Olsen is turning her focus away from acting to pursue her dream of fashion design full-time.

Ashley and her twin sisters Mary-Kate are already partners on the women’s clothing line, The Row, but it is Ashley who has taken over the day-to-day operationher sister continues to act.

She tells VMAN Magazine: “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.”

Ashley adds, “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.”
