LaQuan Smith opened his fall 2022 show with a moment of silence for the late André Leon Talley, honoring the legendary Vogue editor whose discerning eye and flamboyant embrace of fashion paved the way for designers like him. That gesture of reverence set the tone for a collection rooted in both history and audacious renewal—a declaration that New York glamour was alive again.

This coat embodies this spirit: a sweeping cherry shearling overcoat, cut long and commanding, worn nonchalantly open over distressed leather trousers. It speaks to Smith’s dual agenda this season: outerwear as a powerful new category, and the return of unapologetic, nightlife-ready sensuality. The bold red coat nods to Talley’s own larger-than-life approach to dress, while the exposed skin and low-slung trousers revive the energy of Studio 54 and the New York party girls who inspired the collection. In a season that rejected the inertia of loungewear, this look asserts fashion as spectacle and armor—a vampy revival of glamour that is as much tribute as it is provocation.
