​​From Hometown Roots to Global Runways
INTISAR FAULKNER, COLAFW PUBLICATION COORDINATOR


LaQuoshia Boyce is a rising star in the fashion world. She credits her grandmother, Corrine "Doll" Gamble Mosley, for inspiring her love of design and community service. Growing up in the south, Boyce witnessed firsthand how her grandmother's dedication to providing for her family and community shaped her own values.


A self-taught designer, she has embarked on a decade-long journey, marked by constant evolution and adaptation, thus—L’BOYCE was born.

L’BOYCE graced the runway for the Finale Showcase of COLAFW 2024, featuring a variety of mixed mediums from florals, appliques, organza, even fur. Her bold take on “elegant” puts a sexier and unapologetically feminine tone on couture. 

Boyce remains passionate about creating custom designs for individuals, yet has also developed the versatility to cater to the ever-changing demands of the market. With each new collection, they push the boundaries of their creativity, proving that even in a rapidly evolving industry, there is always room for individuality and artistry.
​

“My advice would be “ Do it!” If you want to see… do it! If you want to create the unimaginable… do it! You already took the first step of acknowledging that you can. Now put some action behind it … and  Do It!”

Chris Scott isn’t just a designer; he’s a dreamer, who uses fashion as his canvas. His passion for his brand, Dyes Effx, bleeds through his every word, a vibrant tapestry woven from a love of art, self-expression, and collaboration. With Dyes Effx, he’s not just creating clothes – he’s creating a movement, one splash of color at a time. 

But what truly sets Dyes Effx apart is its collaborative spirit. “Dyes Effx isn’t just about my designs,” Chris emphasizes. “It’s about welcoming other artists, other brands, and creating something together.” 

During his runway showcase at Columbia Fashion Week 2024, his mix of grunge and chic all glued together with vibrant splats of color throughout–definitely made heads turn. The collection featured a maxi corset dress by local designer, Anton x Maxine. The showstopping piece was a contrast to the designers’ more defined, clean cut, and darker hued garments.

Scott isn’t afraid to break the mold. “Sure, we have t-shirts and hoodies,” Chris says with a grin, “but Dyes Effx is more than that.I believe that there are trends that come and go, some that simply never change, and somewhere in the median there’s a balance that yields a timeless result, and that’s where DFX find opportunities.”
