Proving that a winter wonderland can have a wild side, the Ashley Smith Elle Belgium December 2011 editorial blends badass attitude with elegant luxury pieces. Lensed by Hicham Riad, the shoot shows the young American model looking fierce, and having a lot of fun doing so.
In an array of all-black ensembles brought together by stylist Anne Rabeux, Ashley looks ready to rock any holiday party, with pieces from the likes of Jean Paul Gaultier, Givenchy, Cartier and Paul Ka. Showing she’s not afraid to bare a little skin, Smith is the portrait of a foxy femme fatale in a sheer skirt with wild feline detailing.
