We were already looking forward to Laquan Smith’s NYFW show, but when the in-demand designer announced it would be at the Empire State Building we got really excited! As expected, he didn’t disappoint. With splendid ready-to-wear looks that can go from day to night with the switch of a feathery duster, his collection gave what needed to be gave.

Laquan sent dozens of looks down the runway that showcased his unmatched ability to accentuate the best of your silhouette. The collection is full of pieces we didn’t know we needed and that’s the beauty of his elevated designs, the aesthetic is sexy and relatable. From metallic blue pants to flesh-toned pairings and luxurious sheer moments, his looks are everyday statement pieces.

Check out all the looks, we’re swooning over.
