The 28-year-old model likes to give people the wrong information as to how she and the 37-year-old creative mastermind - who is designing a new line for Lane Bryant, which Ashley has modelled for previously - met, and has lead them to believe they crossed paths on the dating app specifically for homosexuals, although the designer made the first move by inviting her to one of his fashion shows.
Speaking about their friendship to Elle UK website, the brunette beauty said: "Well, people do keep wanting to ask how we met.
"The truth is, he invited me to his show last season. He made me a custom gown. I sat front row. I was freaking out, because we as curvy women don't generally get invited to high-end fashion shows. And it's a process when you sit in the front row as a guest of the designer. You have your hair and makeup done. You get your photo taken. And I went backstage afterwards, and I just wanted to say thank you. So that's how we really met.
"But we tell people we met on Grindr."
The entrepreneur's new collection for the fashion house is set to launch this week, which will include creations to fit sizes 10 - 28, and Prabal hopes his designs will choose his garments to have for life.
Speaking about the Lane Bryant x Prabal Gurung range, the creator said: "My clothes belong on every body. We carry up to size 22 in my main collection, but often times, stores just won't stock the sizes that high.
"So this Lane Bryant collection is my solution.
"I always envision a woman buying it and I want it to work for her life and her body. Otherwise, what's the point?"
