Modeling career

Smith grew up in the small city of Spanish Fork, Utah.[7] He is the youngest of four siblings and the only male.

Shortly after their arrival, Smith and his siblings were photographed by Hedi Slimane for Vogue Homme Japan which generated immediate attention.[9]

Smith's modeling career especially took off after he dyed his hair platinum blond at his agent's advice, which became his signature look for some time.[10][11] By 2015, he had shot a dozen magazine covers[12] and fronted fashion campaigns for Philipp Plein and Tom Ford.[13] He and several other models appeared in Tom Ford's fashion video with Lady Gaga for SS16.[14]

He has appeared in editorials for American, French, Spanish, and Ukrainian Vogue, GQ, British Elle, Marie Claire, V, Numéro, i-D, LOVE, and W. Smith has appeared on the covers of French and Spanish Vogue, GQ, V, and Harper's Bazaar.[5]

Smith has walked the runways for Fendi, Chanel, Roberto Cavalli, Moschino, Emporio Armani, DSquared2, Salvatore Ferragamo, Philipp Plein, Ralph Lauren, Balmain, Tom Ford, Marc Jacobs, Ermanno Scervino, Versace, Jeremy Scott, Michael Kors, John Varvatos, Etro and Bottega Veneta.[5]

Musical career

In 2009, Smith and his three sisters formed a surf-rock band called The Atomics. Smith is the drummer and has stated that music is his real passion.[9][15] The band is also represented by Next.[16][17]

Personal life

Smith's mother, Sheridan Smith, is a former model, and his father, Dallon Smith, is a hobbyist musician who started a guitar-string company. His three older sisters are Cheyenne Starlie Smith (born 1993), Daisy Clementine Smith (born 1996), and Pyper America Smith (born 1997), who are all models and social media personalities. He is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Recognition

In 2015, Teen Vogue named Smith the "Model of the Moment".[20] A relative newcomer, he was named to Models.com's "Top 50 Male Models" for 2015[21] and had the second highest number of social media followers of all male models in the industry.[22] Many in the fashion industry acknowledge that Smith's popularity (especially among teenage girls and boys) on social media is a deciding factor for brands and editors who have hired him.[23][24]
