As guests overlooked New York City in the iconic Rainbow Room, the collection’s identity took form with the force of high glam. Smith’s collection are typically glamorous by nature due to his body-con and body-exposing party-ready designs. But this time collection upped the ante on contemporarily chic designs.

For the first time, tailoring-focused designs seeped into Smith’s vision – offering up reworked dresses reimagined with tuxedo lapel detailing, a fitted black tuxedo with a backless jacket, remixed jackets and a luxe silver double-breasted skirt suit. The LaQuan Smith woman was also outfitted with the updated cutout dresses, which are a brand signature, deep neck sheer tops, a reversed blazer dress and a show stopping black tinsel turtleneck dress.

The evolution of the LaQuan Smith woman is always an interesting one to watch. She becomes more sophisticated, sexy, and confident with every collection. Equally interesting is the ways in which Smith plays on elements from a past collection in his new ones, while never neglecting to introduce something strikingly new for the brand. This time, it’s an exploration of LaQuan Smith as daytime wear that can easily be taken into everyday settings.

With color being another noteworthy addition to this season’s show there’s no doubt the LaQuan Smith girl is still evolving, but she seems to have a commanding aura that remains put no matter the case.
