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.
i hadn’t heard of him before this, but props to him + continued success.
ugh, please, enough of this crap.
I’m with muscleboy.
LaQuan?
Yeah, that’s a masculine name.
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 fashion designers.
Like the genius of jimi hendrix. FIRE !
@jason:
“I cannot stand fashion designers.”
so, i take it you’re a nudist…
I cannot stand men, gay or otherwise, who pander to the vanity of women, especially women with lots of money. Go away.
@jason:
and i can’t stand pointless cynicism. why read or post on a topic regarding fashion if you despise it so much? you go away.
Looks like jason is at it again…he she is becoming famous on these forums..for stupid random jerk comments..
u go boy
*WHOSE, not Who’s, Queerty. Jesus, who on earth writes this content? Hire a freelancer or something if you have so much difficulty with elementary language.
This is just plain racist.
So a 21 year old is making a life for himself and some people “cant stand [this] crap”? WOW!
I don’t like using this word(hate) but yall bitter ass queens just ‘hating’..yes there! i called you haters because thats what you are doing.urghhh!
I love him! He’s talented. And doing more with his life than mean Queerty commenters.
Good for him!
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.
LaQuan? WTF is that shit!
Continued success to this driven young man! PEACELUVNBWILD!
is he chinese?
@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.
