Our debut solo fashion exhibition took place in March 2025 at Belle's Lounge by Valentine Distillery. The evening was a vibrant celebration of fashion, cocktails and community. Ashley showcased 3 collections: an curated archival series honoring past works, a bold take on modern sportswear, and a brand-new couture series inspired by Billie Eilish's hauntingly beautiful "Birds of a Feather." During the event, Ashley reflected on the lyric, " I want you to see how you look to me...You wouldn't believe if I told ya," Ashley crafted pieces that explore how beauty, strength, and individuality are often more visible to others than to ourselves - a quiet tribute to the unseen magic within us all.
