LaQuan Smith started his brand at the age of 21. Born in Queens, New York, he spent his early years instructed by his grandmother who instilled a passion and skill for sewing and pattern making in him. His distinctive work sparked interest among fashion icons and risk takers including Beyonce, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, and Kim  Kardashian, all of whom were early supporters of the gifted designer. 

Since its formal debut in 2013, the brand has gained acclaim for its endless archive of distinctive garments and details. Smith has cultivated an equally dynamic private order clientele which spans the globe from Lagos to  London. Smith’s unapologetically glamorous aesthetic has also been tapped by world recognized brands including Heineken, Tidal, Samsung, Microsoft, and Verizon for Smith-directed activations. LaQuan Smith, and his  eponymous label, are headquartered and manufactured in Long Island City, NYC and deliver globally.

LaQuan Smith is a CFDA Member since 2021.
