Fashion Friday: LaQuan Smith is the Moment
1 min read
When Intellectual Ink’s Creative Director Charlotte Young Foye met the LaQuan Smith at brunch, it felt like a moment. Because few designers are shaping modern fashion the way he is.
Raised in Queens and once rejected from FIT, Smith built his brand from the ground up on sheer talent, determination, and an unapologetic vision of what fashion should be: bold, body-hugging, and brimming with confidence.
From Beyoncé and Rihanna to Kim K and Megan Thee Stallion, LaQuan’s designs roar. Think latex, cutouts, catsuits, and the kind of glam that commands rooms. His work celebrates curves, confidence, and couture-level drama.
More than just style, LaQuan Smith is a statement. A Black designer proving that luxury is a legacy. And he’s not just dressing stars—he is one.
