NYFW - LaQuan Smith Spring 2026 RTW: Polished Power and After-Dark Glamour

New York native, LaQuan Smith’s Spring 2026 RTW collection brought his signature sex appeal to NYFW but with a more refined, tailored edge. Despite being rejected by esteemed Fashion schools in New York such as FIT and Parsons, he launched his own label (LaQuan Smith, LLC) in 2013, building a reputation for glamorous, form-fitting, body-celebrating designs. His self-made rise and a client list that includes Cardi B, Beyoncé, Rihanna, and Kim Kardashian, Smith once again proves why he’s one of fashion’s most buzzed-about designers.

This season, Smith introduced his signature playful transparency, strategic cut-outs, and high-shine fabrics, while making it versatile enough for both daytime power dressing and after-dark drama. Smith’s ability to mix confidence, sensuality, and polish has made him a defining voice in the Industry, and Spring 2026 RTW only cements his place. 31 looks, these are my favs.
