As I indulge myself into the mesmerizing world of LaQuan Smith’s Fall/Winter 2024 collection, one thing becomes abundantly clear: the allure of sultry 60s/70s glam reigns supreme on the runways this season. Having looked through the plethora of Fashion Week collections, I’ve witnessed a recurring theme, and it’s undeniably HOT.
LaQuan Smith, a master of glamorized clothing, once again proves his mastery with a collection that seamlessly blends sensuality and sophistication. As I envision myself strutting through the upcoming fall and winter seasons adorned in his creations, I can’t help but admire the designer’s ability to capture the essence of an era while infusing it with a contemporary edge.
Drawing inspiration from the Wall Street dressing aesthetic of the 80s, Smith’s collection unfolds against the backdrop of the iconic Cipriani 25, that is across from the “Bull of Wall Street” statue in Manhattan’s Financial District. The deep muted tones meticulously curated within the collection resonate profoundly with the era LaQuan Smith seeks to embody.
One standout ensemble, look number 1, features a Carmel high slit skirt paired with a deep plunging top, effortlessly captivating the audience with its allure. Fur, in collaboration with Saga Furs, adds opulence and texture to the collection, while sheer tops, silk pants, and deep red hues contribute to the sultry ambiance Smith exudes with ease.
A highlight of the runway spectacle is a dress embodying the essence of a silk black tuxedo suit but in dress form, boasting sharp shoulders and a white button-down effect with crisp cuffs, a testament to Smith’s impeccable tailoring. Another striking ensemble pairs deep blue pin stripes with a sheer blouse and a shimmering, sequined gold bra, a daring yet exquisite combination.
What sets LaQuan Smith apart is his ability to cater to the modern woman—the LaQuan Smith girl—who effortlessly balances sophistication with an unwavering determination to conquer her ambitions, all while exuding an unparalleled sense of style.
As I reflect on the entirety of LaQuan Smith’s Fall/Winter 2024 collection, one thing becomes unequivocally clear: I need every piece from this collection in my wardrobe. Smith’s ability to encapsulate the essence of an era while infusing it with contemporary flair is nothing short of awe-inspiring, leaving fashion enthusiasts, like me, wanting more.
Through meticulous craftsmanship and an innate understanding of feminine allure, LaQuan Smith continues to redefine luxury fashion, leaving an indelible mark on the industry with each collection he unveils.
