Hello, This Is My Friend, Laquan Smith.

Hello again fashion lovers, I hope that you are having a relaxing Sunday and staying safe out in our world right now. It's truly an honor to be on here with like-minded people talking about the thing that makes me happy the most, Fashion.

There are so many dope African American fashion designers in the industry such as Tracy Reese, Cushnie, Fe Noel, Brother Vellies, LemLem, Stella Jean, and newer designers such as Heron Preston, Pyer Moss, and Christopher John Rodgers just to name a few. But what I found out about African American being represented in the fashion world really saddened and shocked me, Black designers only make 1% of. the fashion industry. Being a black fashion blogger and who trying to make this into my full-time job, I feel that we need more Black designers showing their collections at NYFW instead of hearing about them from word-of-mouth. 

I feel that Laquan Smith is a designer that people constantly sleep on. Now his designs are for the shy girls, his designs are for the fearless uber-confident sexy girls. He developed a passion for fashion and design at a young age. He further developed his passion at the age of 13 when his grandmother passed on her old Singer sewing machine for him to use. From there, he began regularly designing and creating garments. In 2005, Smith applied to the Fashion Institute of Technology and Parsons School of Design but was not accepted. (Bad on their part, big mistake.)  he soon began interning at the New York magazine BlackBook in the year of 2007, working for celebrity fashion stylist Elizabeth Sulcer, He was so dedicated to his career, he would attend events by pretending to be a BlackBook editor. In the year of 2008, he created his self-titled designer brand. I've seen many celebrities wear his designs such as Kim Kardashian, Nicki Minaj, EJ Johnson, Dorothy Wang (Rich Kids Of Beverly Hills), and many more. 

This dress is from the Spring/Summer 2019 Ready-To-Wear Collection. 


Looking at this piece from his Fall/Winter 2019 Ready-To-Wear Collection got me in my Fall feels.



Even Laquan Smith knows that animal print is seasonless for his Spring/Summer 2020 Ready-To-Wear Collection. 


I believe that this dress has mugshots of celebrities from his Spring/Summer 2019 Ready-To-Wear Collection.



Well, I hope that you learned about Black Fashion Designers and Laquan Smith and I hope that you all have enjoyed this blog post and I thank you so much for reading this. I love you all so much and until next time, Stay Beautiful.

Happy Tuesday and Welcome Back to my Blog, I'm so happy that you stopped by here. I hope that you all are ready to share in my love for the latest Fashion Trends that has my full, undivided, attention. When I was growing up, I was always under the impression that all of us had to wear Black, Gray, and any other neutral colors to match the whole Winter Season. I wore my dark colors and don't get me wrong that was nice but looking back at the outfits that I wore I wished that I would've added a touch of color to them ( Who wants to look like you are constantly going to a Funeral) I love how color gives you a little pep in your outfit and how it gives you a instant mood lifter that will anyone looking at your outfit. Today's Blog Post is all about Colorful Coats, I'm loving this trend so much because why would you want to stay in the background when you were meant to stand out. From rich, saturated, jewel tones, to beautiful pastels this is something I love to

Hello again Fashion Lovers and Happy Tuesday to you all. I hope that you all are doing well and always in style while doing so. A jacket is the one thing that every person needs to have in their closets. I feel a jacket is the finishing piece to a outfit just like a watch, a handbag, or the the right pair of shoes. Jackets are really are having a real moment in the Fashion world and I must say, I'm in love with Jackets right now and quite honestly, I have a feeling that they are going to be here for a couple seasons on the runways.  Now I know what many of you are thinking, A Bomber Jackets in the Heat of Summer. I was thinking the same thing, But Bombers can be worn in the Summer. Bombers Jackets are the uber cool girl clothing item that everyone is wearing I remember when I was in High School girls was wearing them with jeans and sneakers and I seen women Bomber Jackets over bodycon dresses. I have two Bombers Jackets that I think you all will love. The first is a Olive

How To Look Chic In The Heat

Happy Tuesday Fashion Lovers out there, I hope that you are being your absolute stylish selves and spreading positive vibes wherever you go. Let's be honest with each other for a minute, we all love the summer for what it represents, spending time with our families and friends, going on beach vacations, enjoying the long summer nights, but we can not stand the heat. The heat does not go well with your outfit at all or anything else for that matter. In this heatwave that we all are experiencing (And some people believe that Climate Change is a hoax) we have to adapt to the heat and still look stylish. Having the right outfit in the heat is essential for a woman to have in her closet. I love wearing dresses in the Summer, They are light and airy and they can be dressed down for a casual barbeque with friends or dressed up for a night. Another thing that I love about dresses is that they are a complete outfit so when you have an unexpected event to go to, you're covered.
