For spring 2027, LaQuan Smith gives the LaQuan Smith woman a wardrobe that can carry her through the entire day. The spring 2027 collection moved beyond Smith’s familiar after-dark world and into a wardrobe that feels just as appropriate for a morning meeting as it does for midnight.
Smith’s “Children of Blood & Bone” capsule brought a sense of fantasy and storytelling to the presentation. Dramatic silhouettes, bold prints and exotic details gave the collection an almost otherworldly quality, adding another layer to Smith’s already distinctive visual language.
The daytime wardrobe embraced sharp tailoring, structured shoulders, oversized trench coats, and dark denim. The denim pieces were particularly interesting, with functional zippers that allowed the garments to be adjusted and styled in different ways. It was a practical detail, but one that still felt very much like LaQuan Smith.
There was plenty of attitude throughout the collection. Embossed python collars, feather-accented shoulder jackets, and unexpected combinations of Bambi and cheetah-inspired prints combined softness and strength with a little bit of fantasy. The mix kept the collection from feeling too predictable.
By the second half of the presentation, the familiar LaQuan Smith woman came back into full view. She appeared in sheer, body-conscious gowns, dramatic cutouts, and evening looks that celebrated the female form. The sensuality was still there, but it felt like one part of a much larger wardrobe.
The beauty added to the fantasy. Hair extensions by True Hair Company, styled under the direction of Orlando Pita, brought height, movement and drama to the runway. Inspired by the Garden of Eden and exotic plumage, the hair became an important part of the overall look rather than simply an accessory to the clothing.
The spring 2027 collection expands the LaQuan Smith woman without taking away the qualities that make her recognizable. She can wear a sharply tailored suit or oversized trench during the day, change into dark denim for something more relaxed and still arrive at night in a sheer gown that commands attention.
Smith has taken the glamour, confidence, and sensuality that have long defined his work and allowed those qualities to exist throughout the day. Structured tailoring and functional denim sit alongside feathers, wild prints and body-conscious eveningwear, creating a wardrobe for a woman who does not have to wait until midnight to make an entrance.

After designing a collection heavily focused on eveningwear in February 2026, “Project Runway” Season 21 winner Veejay Floresca took a slight pivot for spring 2027, shifting her focus more toward daywear. Elements her collections are known for, such as tailoring, colorful suits, and unique textures, were still on display.
The world was originally introduced to Floresca via her winning season on “Project Runway,” and now she’s showing who she can be as a designer. She has built her line into womenswear, menswear, and bridal, and with this collection, has proven she can do both eveningwear and daywear.
Inspired by the sensual elegance of the Rococo period, the Lee Petra Grebenau spring 2027 collection embraces an intimacy of drama
As with most bridal collections there is the traditional bridal gowns. (Bridal brands need to keep the sales flowing in and traditional bridal gowns are the cash cows for most bridal brands.) Still, with Lee Petra Grebenau, there are those innovative bridal garments that makes fashion industry professionals hearts beat a little faster.
Silk gazar, hand-embroidered lace, and whisper-light tulles are handled with couture-level artistry, resulting in gowns that look just as striking up close as they do from afar. There is a notable return to craftsmanship: hand-finished hems, intricate appliqué work, and delicately structured corsetry that pays homage to heritage ateliers while remaining distinctly modern.
