Ashley says she's "sometimes too impulsive," but it's this frankness that makes her music and fashion feel authentic. She doesn't strive for "perfect retro," but rather reinterprets haute couture in her own way, just like her music—direct, sincere, and unpretentious.


"Fashion is like creation; there are no standard answers, only whether you dare to try."
