Designer LaQuan Smith presented “a high-spirited” womenswear collection at New York Fashion Week, teaming oversized cosy jackets with skimpy leotards and sparkling mini dresses.
Actress Julia Fox opened the show on Monday in a long black dress, with a cutout at the front. She was followed by models wearing high-legged leotards or corsets, slit and cut-out dresses as well as shiny jackets or jumpsuits.
“This collection is really about the revival and the celebration of New York City ... and what it means to be a LaQuan Smith woman (which) is that she is all about being unapologetically sexy,” Smith told Reuters.
“Because we’ve been through so much trauma in the world I think this collection is just high spirited, it’s exciting, it’s electrifying.”
The Queens-born designer put zips on jackets, trousers and skirts. For the evening there were shiny red tops, jackets and matching ensembles.
Smith used a colour palette of bold blue, red, black and brown for the autumn/winter 2022.
