Fashion Designer · New York
Brooklyn first debuted her fashion designs on a major runway at Kansas City Fashion Week — a breakthrough moment that proved a young designer from the Midwest could command the spotlight. This New York season, BK Smartz Designs has two shows on the calendar: the Littles in Lace showcase on September 11, 2026 at Flatiron Studio in NYC, and Brooklyn's return to New York Fashion Week on September 13, 2026 at Sony Hall.
At just 13 years old, Brooklyn brings a creative force fueled by elegance, empowerment, and expression. The season moves from the playful polish of Littles in Lace into the Fall 2026 Leilah & Lace collection, building on her journey with sharper craftsmanship, a bolder point of view, and designs that inspire confidence, beauty, and individuality on and off the runway.
