Product Insights & Style Tips

Named after the SoHo address that inspired it, Lafayette 148 brings a New York cool to a refined midi. Translating Summer 2026 gardening ideas into luxury texture, this straight-fit skirt wears like a sculpture in motion. It features hand-crocheted flower appliqués and a hem edge trimmed with Japanese paper ribbon, while a crosshatch chevron pattern evokes the dimensionality of handwoven raffia in an elevated jersey knit with a soft, sculptural hand.

Its straight silhouette drapes close to the body without clinging, finishing at a midi length that works with boots, sandals, or heels. The elevated jersey knit offers a soft yet structured feel, easing into layers from a light tee to a crisp button-down or a luxe sweater, while the embellishments stay poised from morning meetings to after-hours events.

Lafayette 148 continues to fuse artisanal craft with city-ready polish, a signature that reads as elevated everyday. Pair with a white shirt and ankle boots for a sculptural desk-to-dinner moment, or dress it down with a knit top and sleek mules for garden-inspired ease that still commands attention.

Lafayette 148 Pre-Fall 2026 Grows a Tactile New York Wardrobe

Lafayette 148 Pre-Fall 2026 begins with Creative Director Emily Smith and the time she spent tending her upstate garden. The reference stays subtle. Instead of literal floral motifs, the collection draws from texture, repetition, and the quiet rhythm of tending soil. Cotton shirting, crochet touches, and natural fibers bring gentle irregularity to the range while the brand’s familiar New York clarity keeps each piece grounded.
