I believe the answer is:
laura
'designer ashley' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for laura that I've seen before include "Petrarch loved her" , "- Ashley, Welsh clothes, furnishings designer" , "- Ashley, Welsh clothing and furniture designer" , "US First Lady" , "Girl's name" .)
