LaQuan Smith is a New York luxury womenswear label founded by the designer of the same name, who was born and raised in Queens and started the business at 21 after learning sewing and pattern making from his grandmother. The label's founding is dated to 2008, with a New York Fashion Week debut, 'Water Goddess,' in February 2010 and a formal brand debut in 2013. It is headquartered and manufactured in Long Island City, Queens, and delivers globally.
The aesthetic is unapologetically glamorous and body-conscious: catsuits, bodysuits, cut-out dresses and gowns, plus tops and accessories, with current collection pieces priced in the $895 to $1,595 range. Beyonce, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, Hailey Bieber and Kamala Harris have all worn the label.
Alongside the collections, the business runs a global private-order clientele and has produced designer-directed brand activations for Heineken, Tidal, Samsung, Microsoft and Verizon. Fall/Winter and Spring/Summer 2026 collections are currently on the site. Browse the collections or get in touch about a private order.
