    Ashley Smith

    Ashley Smith is a multifaceted artist whose work spans fashion, film, music and DJing. Born in a small town in East Texas, she was discovered as a model at eighteen while attending SXSW in Austin, TX. What followed was an international modelling career spanning more than a decade, with appearances in publications including Vogue, Glamour, Jalouse and Playboy as well as campaigns and collaborations with some of the world’s most celebrated fashion houses and brands, including Chanel, Balenciaga, Versace, Diesel and Agent Provocateur.

    In 2018, she moved to New York City to pursue a different kind of creative expression: forging her own voice as an artist, both on screen and on stage. Drawn to the unconventional, she found a particular affinity for genre cinema, going on to appear in a range of short films and independent features, including A Desert and Off Ramp.

     

     

  • Her creative pursuits soon extended into music and alongside frontwoman Dani Miller, Ashley co-founded TRASHWORLD, an electroclash-punk band whose raw, irreverent sound channels the spirit of underground music culture. The band released its debut EP, Livin’ in a Trashworld, in late 2024.

    Then came a plot twist she hadn’t quite planned for: love. After meeting someone who lived 5,000 miles away, Ashley made the leap across the Atlantic, relocating to London to build a life with her partner.

    Now embracing life in London, Ashley continues to explore her creative worlds across acting, music and DJing. 

    When she isn’t working, Ashley can be found watching anime, indulging in horror films, playing video games or getting lost in a game of Magic: The Gathering.
