This season's starting point for the Queens native? "Dynasty"—and the unrestrained glamour that both Joan Collins and Diahann Carroll exuded on the '80s-era soap. The mood, of course, gets the signature LaQuan treatment—with no shortage of sex appeal, skin reveals, and body-sculpting fits. Fall's silhouettes, however, prove sharper than ever with clever spins on the classic tuxedo that range from cropped blazers and high-waisted pants (some with cummerbunds) to über-short minis that incorporate classic lapels and collars of tuxedo jackets. Made of a sleek wool-blend, these pants have a high-waisted, wide-leg silhouette detailed with pleats and a cummerbund waist sash. Wear yours with a billowy blouse to mimic brand styling.
