The 21-Year-Old Fashion Star Who’s Got Lady Gaga, Well, Gaga

You need to install or upgrade Flash Player to view this content, install or upgrade by clicking here.

For most Americans, turning 21 is a right of passage … into bars. For New York-based designer LaQuan Smith, turning 21 meant he was dressing the likes of Lady Gaga, Rihanna, and showing at New York Fashion Week. Daily Candy checks in on the adorable wunderkind.

Quite an accomplishment for a young man… The clothes look really well made and fashion-forward (to this untrained eye). I don’t know what “this crap” muscleboy is referring to, but I didn’t mind the piece; it’s a short “fluff” piece about a young, I’m assuming) gay designer who’s hit it big.

Nicely talented, but I feel like I’m living in the twilight zone with constant attention devoted to the Superficials.

I cannot stand men, gay or otherwise, who pander to the vanity of women, especially women with lots of money. Go away.

You go LaQuan. I am all for ANY gay man who gets up off their ass and at least TRY to do something with their lives other than find a job and hope it lasts long enough to retire from.

I am the basic Macys 1/2 off or clearance sale type but I do hope to one day see articles about you in the NYTimes. Keep at it honey.

@Jason: Saying you dont like a whole group of people with that occupation is as dumb as saying “I don’t like fags”. You can’t generalize.

Props to LaQuan though, thats super cool. As an aspiring designer, I’m jealous.
