The male model, who has been likened to both River Phoenix and a young Brad Pitt, has quickly become a  teen sensation, with an large Instagram following and a consistently trending hashtag to his name.

Smith and his three sisters all attended the meeting and were all signed the same day to Next LA. By the following weekend, Smith was shooting with Hedi Slimane for Vogue Hommes Japan.

By the time he was 15, Smith had two strong campaigns under his belt for Gap and Levi’s, the latter featuring him playing the drums in front of America’s iconic Hollywood sign. After his agency suggested he ‘edged up’ his look a year later, Smith’s career truly took off leading him to walk for a large number of brands including Dunhill, Tom Ford, Bottega Veneta, Fendi, Salvatore Ferragamo and Sacai for Autumn/Winter 2015. He has also starred in Calvin Klein ’s CK One fragrance campaign shot by Mario Sorrenti.

Smith has become known for his dedication to communicating with fans, frequently posting his whereabouts and interacting with them on Instagram. He is extensively plugged in to social media and is particularly popular in China, largely as a result of his agency Next, which has developed his presence on social media platforms such as Weibo and WeChat.

In 2018, Smith was a nominee for the GQ International Man of Style award, partly recognised for his widely publicised journey as a father to Gravity Blue Smith who was born in July 2017.
