By design, fashion is a tool to tell the world what it’s all about. At the very least, it is a canvas upon which our most indulgent ideas can illustrate the words we seek, a vessel for communication to which only we hold the keys. Of course, it can be challenging to put those pieces together, especially when there are so many parts of our personality jostling for the driver’s seat. In case of Smith & Quinn, artistic utility is expertly woven into ready-to-wear garments that are as functional as they are dynamic, simplifying the art of self-expression allowing more time to pursue the activities you enjoy most without expending energy building a robust wardrobe. With Smith & Quinn, versatility is queen, delivering a collection of designs and fabrics that look as good as they feel. Since its inception, Smith & Quinn has dominated the ready-to-wear (RTW) game, delivering practical wear for men, women, wedding wear and everything in between, challenging our understanding of how fashion can work and where we choose to highlight its many different extremities.

Smith & Quinn is named after two of the company’s most prolific personalities: Kaela Smith, founder and chief designer, and her partner, Danny Quinn, chief executive officer. Smith has been creating and designing since childhood, going on to study art and fashion in college before launching the current iteration of Smith & Quinn in 2020. Throughout the company’s growth, their mission has remained the same. The ability to offer wearable, designer fabrics that are also comfortably versatile at competitive prices is almost unheard of in today’s fashion markets, putting Smith & Quinn at the forefront of what is sure to be a renaissance in RTW collections.
Part of what sets Smith & Quinn apart from its peers is the airy quality of their signature S&Q Italian matte stretch fabric, the anatomy of which can be found in most of their designs such as the Maeve Dress or the Smitty Polo. These garments are designed for a variety of occasions, from golf and tennis to resort wear and weekend lunches. Unique to Smith & Quinn is the harmony of athleticism and luxurious creativity, supporting an active lifestyle that is empowered by bespoke art. The company’s fabrics are a major part of their loyal following, as most are wrinkle-resistant and machine washable. Whether it’s competing with your best man or looking more uniform for your bridal party, Smith & Quinn checks all the necessary boxes and then some.
A familiar obstacle with fashion minds is the challenge of transferring their sense of style to the road, in the air or on the water. Minimizing travel wear while retaining a zest for individuality is an art form, to say the least, and Smith & Quinn furthers this desire by offering dynamic collections that travel extremely well, thanks in large part to their RTW designs. These pieces require very little assembly or decorating and are easy to hide without fear of creasing, the latter of which is conducive to stress-free travel. Smith & Quinn is designed for all lifestyles, but speaks directly to the curious, the people who know how to work hard but play more.
Since the official launch of the company, Smith & Quinn has rapidly expanded its wholesale and digital domains to include select PGA retail stores, where they were named a “Top 5 Brand” in 2022. Additionally, Smith & Quinn truly excels at creating RTW clothing that is as versatile as the bodies that choose to wear it. The brand customization department offers enough space to bring your most colorful ideas to life, putting the power of personality in the palm of your hand. As a family business, Smith & Quinn exudes a cosmopolitan flair with a distinct homegrown authenticity, never compromising the quality of its designs for global expansion. In many ways, Smith & Quinn is the harbinger of tomorrow’s most compelling evolutions in fashion, uniting function and contemporary skill to dress the modern visionary. At its core, fashion is a transforming language with ideas that bring everything from a belt buckle to a zip-up jacket to life. While words may not mean the same thing from person to person, the art of talking through quality clothing doesn’t have to be difficult, and with Smith & Quinn leading the discussions of tomorrow, the best is yet to come when it comes to dynamic taste.
