Smith's modeling career especially took off after he dyed his hair platinum blond at his agent's advice; the hair became his signature look for some time.[11][12]

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.[2]

Music career
