This Oct. 10, 2019, photo shows fashion designer LaQuan Smith posing for a portrait in New York. Some see the self-trained Smith as a pioneer in pushing the fashion culture forward. The self-trained designer was rejected by both the Fashion Institute of Technology and the Parsons School of Design. He says he owes his success to staying true to himself and listening to his gut. Moet & Chandon named Smith one of its “Nectar of the Culture” ambassadors on Tuesday. (AP Photo/Mary Altaffer)
