New York based designer LaQuan Smith is one of my favorite designers. His aesthetic is sexy, edgy, and bold. He’s dressed celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Adrian Bailon, and Amber Riley. This November the designer is taking things up a notch. His ASOS X LaQuan Smith collection is set to debut online this November. Get this, it will include plus sizes. Up to a size 28.
I’m not surprised that LaQuan is going the size inclusive route. I remember when I saw Amber Riley in one of his pieces. I squealed and wished that he would extend his sizing. LaQuan’s NYFW shows are always creative and fun. I’ve always hoped one day I would be able to own a piece of his designs.
This is a HUGE opportunity for a black designer to get a collaboration like this with a popular brand like ASOS. I applaud LaQuan for creating this collection and making sure women of all sizes would be able to wear it. Can we get more of this please?
The ASOS X LaQuan Smith collection will feature all the designs LaQuan is known for. So, you can expect edgy and lots of body con pieces. There will also be some snazzy glamorous styles. We saw a few photos from the collection and I spied latex and faux fur. There’s even a few leopard print pieces.
Unfortunately, every pieces does not come in plus sizes. I don’t know why brands do this. Most of the times when it comes to plus, brands just give us a few styles. The collection is set to hit stores on November 1st. There will be some affordable pieces because the collection starts at about $22 in the U.S.
