LaQuan Smith Launches First Swimwear Collection

LaQuan Smith launched his first full swimwear collection in partnership with luxury destination FORWARD this June and it’s hot hot hot!

Based in NYC, Smith is known for his sexy, revealing, but unapologetically glamorous clothing, and he’s translated many signature elements of his runway designs to swimwear. The collection features 11 original silhouettes with details familiar to the brand such as peek-a-boo cutouts, graphic lines, lace front ties, thoughtful cuts, and curved seams. The white boned one-piece from the line is reminiscent of Smith’s sleek high-waisted corsetry, while the black and white colorblocked suit with mesh paneling resembles the designer’s highly coveted mesh bodysuits.

“I have always been interested in the swim space and have integrated a few pieces into past shows, but I am so excited to have the opportunity to debut a full range for the LaQuan Smith woman," said Smith.

The capsule is inspired by dream luxury vacation destinations and designed to bring out the confidence in every woman to celebrate their bodies this summer. Smith strives to create an experience through his clothing that inspires the wearer to step into their womanhood and feel sexy as themselves.

“Right now we really want to push for inclusivity among all women and show our customers that we see and hear them,” Smith told Sports Illustrated. “This evolution into swimwear was seamless and felt like a natural addition to the LaQuan Smith brand."

Recently, Smith's dressed the most alluring style stars including Beyoncé, Rihanna, Kylie Jenner, and Kim Kardashian, all of whom are unafraid to step out in a fashion moment that is experimental, sensual, fun, and luxurious. With this new collection of unique swimwear, Smith is dressing everyone to feel like "That Girl" on the beach or beside the pool this summer — unbothered with a cocktail in hand.
