Mirrored shades, bold colors, fabulous fringe, and punchy prints–fashion week attendees offer this and more.
Karl Pierre focused on a few stand outs with his chic lens. Indulge and enjoy!

The LaQuan Smith brand continues to blow up, particularly with the patronage ‘it girls’, from Justine Skye to just about everyone in the Kardashian/Jenner clan. Sizzling socialites and songstresses have always been fans of the LQS brand–for Spring 2016, Smith ushered out even more saucy, thigh skimming, and occasionally scandalous style.



This season called for plays with fabrications, from tweed to denim. With the former, Smith offered skirt suits, racerback dresses, and floor sweeping coats. In the denim arena, he imagined jumpsuits, strapless dresses, and pencil skirts with paper bag waists.






For more formal occasions, the high slit, lingerie inspired frock reigned supreme. I can see many of tinseltown’s young and fabulous flashing their gams in one of his form skimming gowns for red carpet events.



Though crafted for the girly girl, Smith refreshingly offered a few wide legged pants and short sets.


I’m a fan of LaQuan, and already have a few tweed pieces and a denim pencil skirt on my lust list.

She gave a little 70’s tease with wispy hair and glossy red lips.
The look was modeled with a red purse, and the blouse buttoned to the hilt.
She makes it work, as always. Hot!
