LaQuan Smith NYFW F/W 2013

Monday, February 11, 2013
Penthouse at Hudson

Young designer, LaQuan Smith, displayed a sexy and vibrant Fall 2013 collection inspired by Bond girls . Across three small display rooms, models crowded every corner with fun victory-rolled faux-hawks and black lips. Their white nails stood out with tiny black rectangles and shapes painted on their fingertips. Strong graphics of stars, circles and the letters of his name spiced up simple silhouettes and shapes while laser cut body suits, tops, and dresses stretched over long and lean models. Vinyl and fur played with form and volume while contrasting the tightly stretched jersey and leather.
