00:00In addition to bringing students to the CFDA Awards,
00:03I do also know that Samsung was a part
00:05of your last collection shown at Fashion Week.
00:07So can you tell me a little bit about how you incorporated
00:10Samsung into the collection?
00:12Yes, so with Samsung's help, I designed a limited edition
00:16men's and women's unisex sleepwear collection
00:19that was pretty much inspired by technology,
00:22the Galaxy Ring, the Galaxy Z Fold 6.
00:25I got a chance to spend time
00:27with pretty much all of the products.
00:29And, you know, I believe technology and creativity
00:33pretty much goes hand in hand.
00:35You know, it really allowed me to sort of dive
00:38into the elements of lucid dreams.
00:42I started taking a look at all of the ways
00:46that these products inspired me.
00:48And I was ultimately inspired by the luxury idea of sleep.
00:52And that's how I came up with this concept of lucid dreams.
00:56And it's just a really beautiful collection
00:59that I think just incorporates the idea of fashion
01:02through the lens of technology.
01:05Gotcha. And did you have any other sources of inspiration?
01:08There was a really fire trench coat
01:10that was a part of the collection.
01:12There were all of these innovative items.
01:15I feel like you kind of do this most seasons.
01:17I always love to see the bustier moments as well.
01:20So were there any other sources of inspiration
01:22besides the tech side?
01:25I mean, I think, you know, for me,
01:28the root of inspiration for Laquan Smith
01:30is always just the idea of New York glamour.
01:33It's all about this sort of idea of sensuality
01:36and creating, you know, really fun classic
01:40but yet provocative silhouettes
01:41that women can be inspired by, you know,
01:44to where Laquan Smith is truly an experience.
01:47And it really does stand for this idea
01:50of being unapologetically sexy, you know?
01:53And I wanna just always continue
01:55to keep that core DNA consistently
01:58and making sure that I'm creating a product
02:00that's modern and progressively fashion forward.
02:04And I think, you know, for me,
02:06that's always been the start of the inspiration
02:09is making a product and designing a collection
02:11that a woman or a man can feel empowered by.
