FAB Friday: LaQuan Smith

Hey there divas!  It's Friday and you know what that means, right? FAB FRIDAY YA'LL!  Today we're featuring, LaQuan Smith, who has been recently titled, "The New Wave of Fashion"  LaQuan is a 21 year old designer born and raised in Brooklyn NY.  His brilliant designs have been worn by Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Aubrey O'day, Amber Rose, and other celebrities but most important he has designed for our boy and resident diva, Justin Tranter!  He has been designing and shooting his own clothes for 8 years and has a serious knack for designing high-end beautiful clothing.  Persona magazine recently covered LaQuan's beautiful A/W 2010 Collection and this is what they had to say, "An enthusiastic crowd of downtown fashion “It” boys and serious fashionistas  gathered in an intimate location in midtown Manhattan to view Queens native, LaQuan Smith’s F/W collection during NY Fashion Week. A refreshing, bold and exuberant collection, Smith’s Fashion Week debut was a flawless blend of daring pieces and wearable garments. His “Water Goddess” collection was made up of mermaid inspired silhouettes, oceanic influenced prints, leggings reminiscent of fish scale, blue neoprene jackets and sand colored pieces made this collection the embodiment of daring yet accessible fashion.

The models presented each piece with the confidence and the attitude embodied in each garment. Smith’s collection included barely-there mini’s, jaw-dropping body-suits, see through tops, bold statement jackets and body-hugging dresses. Vogue’s Andre Leon Tally clapped while models exhibited the valiant yet ultra-feminine Fall/Winter collection. Eye-catching, daring and dripping in sex appeal, it is little wonder that this 21 year-old wonder kid has already become a favorite of  the sirens of  music. Alicia Keys, Lady Gaga, Rihanna and Ciara have all donned his designs.

Soft–spoken, humble and gracious, LaQuan Smith is a young designer at the foot of his promising and exciting career. An American designer with hopes of taking his eye and influence to the couture houses of Paris, LaQuan Smith is truly the next wave of American design. Just ask Andre Leon Tally. - L.E Flores"
