LaQuan Smith made sure to leave a remarkable fashion history during New York Fashion Week as the first-ever designer to host a fashion show at the iconic Empire State Building.
Known for his sultry and sophisticated designs since his debut in NYFW in 2010, LaQuan Smith surely knows how to bring out the sexy in a woman. Beyonce, Rihanna, Jennifer Lopez and Lady Gaga are some of the sex kitten superstars who proudly wear his works. During his September 9 show, Smith brought his glitz and glam to the 86th floor of the Empire State Building for his Spring/Summer 2022 Collection showcase– launching 55 astonishing designs that truly wowed fashionistas.
The collection boasts of sexy bodycon dresses and co-ords, as well as catsuits with sheer panels in the form of bedazzled, skin-hugging mini dresses. Then there are glittery bra tops and mesh, and cut-out bodysuits, and even robe-like dresses. Warm and nude tones are seen in the first batch of the collection:
White outfits can be sexy, and shades of blue are in– be it sky or electric:
Alluring outfits in dark night blue color could be ultra-feminine, and red will always be the color of fiery sexiness:
Known for his phenomenal sheer creations, LaQuan reminded us why see-through’s can be timelessly stylish:
Influences of New York street fashion will always be present in a LaQuan collection:
One of the show’s highlights is his collaboration with Puma. The brand’s athleticwear appeared in the form of logo-ed sweatshirts and t-shirts that were styled with fishnet stockings, showing LaQuan’s versatility as a designer. He also unveiled a partnership with AfterPay, which will make his designs available for the public as you can shop clothing pieces from the runway:
Smith believes that his brand is about celebrating the female form. In his interview with E!, he said, “I really truly believe in quality, I believe in construction, I believe in molding the body, I love when a woman puts on a dress (a LaQuan’s dress to be exact) and feels that she doesn’t even need some undergarments. Any woman at any age, at any size, wants to feel snatched, and that’s the DNA of LaQuan’s making women feel unapologetic sexy at all shapes, sizes, and colors.”
