LAQUAN X A. WANG X FAV NYFW SS/15 COLLECTIONS!

NYFW 2014 was a sheer blast! I haven't enjoyed traipsing around my city so much in years. I had the pleasure of seeing a few shows in person like William Okpo and Naeem Khan. I went backstage at Tibi and I delved all the way into Laquan Smith's outstanding presentation.

And speaking of monsieur Laquan, lets jump right in - this entire collection makes me want to party. I had disco fever walking around the room at 91 Horatio Street. Laquan never disappoints. The collection was full of fun flirty dresses canvasing everything from classic lace wraps to two PVC see-thru numbers that were just simply divine and one of my favs. 

The hooded crop tops will bring some pizazz to the now dated crop top look in my opinion and the clean lines for men - simply superb. 

My all time favorite piece was this immaculately designed see-thru shirt with horizontal striped lines. I've been waiting for a reason to wear a boob-pasty and now my moment has come. There was so much goodness to chose from, but here's a sneak peak of the looks I admired most. Jouir....
