LaQuan Smith makes clothes for being looked at. The label was formally launched in 2013 by a designer who grew up in Queens, learned to sew on his grandmother’s Singer machine, and was turned down by both Parsons and FIT before he ever showed a collection. He built it anyway. Today the house is a fixture of the New York show schedule and a CFDA member, and it is one of the very few luxury eveningwear labels still designed and manufactured in the United States, from a studio in Long Island City.

LaQuan Smith at Luxury Shoes
The signature is a sculpted, second-skin line. Bodysuits and catsuits are cut to sit against the body with the seams doing the shaping, and the eveningwear is built on the same principle, with plunging necklines, high slits, and cutouts placed to carve rather than to expose for its own sake. Beyoncé, Rihanna, Lady Gaga and Kim Kardashian were early supporters, and the label has stayed close to that world since.
What Luxury Handbags stocks
Our edit covers the Spring Summer 2026 collection: tonal champagne pinstripe tailoring, the stretch jersey bodysuits and capris the house is known for, chocolate and caramel leather, sunset ombre eveningwear, and the amber python print that runs through the season. Sizing is in letters, XS to XL. Prices run from about $690 for a capri to $5,390 for the hand-knotted leather midi skirt. Everything is authenticated by Luxury Handbags and ships worldwide.
The Luxury Handbags editor’s guide to LaQuan Smith
LaQuan Smith is a body-first label, so the styling logic is different from a house that builds from the cloth outward. Start with the second-skin layer and add one hard piece over it. A nude long sleeve bodysuit under the champagne pinstripe waistcoat and wide leg trouser is the collection’s own proposition, shown that way on the runway. The bodysuit is the base layer, not the outfit.
The tailoring is the quiet half of the collection and the most wearable. The double breasted jacket and the wide leg pinstripe trouser work as separates well beyond evening, and the champagne tone is soft enough to read as a neutral in daylight. If you want one piece that carries the house signature without the exposure, that is the pair to look at.
For evening, the ombre and python prints do the work on their own. Keep the second element plain: a printed maxi skirt over a black bodysuit, and nothing else. Adding a third pattern is where a LaQuan Smith look tends to come apart.
Sizing
LaQuan Smith sizes in letters where most eveningwear houses use numbers, which is the single most common question we get about the label. The brand publishes its own chart in US body measurements. It covers XS to L only, so XL sits above the published range. There is no instruction from the house to size up nor down, so take your usual size.
| LaQuan Smith | US | UK | EU |
|---|---|---|---|
| XS | 0 to 2 | 4 to 6 | 32 to 34 |
| S | 4 to 6 | 8 to 10 | 36 to 38 |
| M | 8 to 10 | 12 to 14 | 40 to 42 |
| L | 12 to 14 | 16 to 18 | 44 to 46 |
The stretch jersey pieces move with you and are the most forgiving. The leather has almost no give and will mould with wear. The chiffon blouses are cut away from the body, so they run generous through the torso.
