Creative director Emily Smith’s trip to Bhutan informed the Lafayette 148 fall collection.
“Bhutan is the happiest country in the world — we want to share that joy through our collection,” she said in the show notes. As a result, a rich, optimistic fall palette and a mix of textures prevailed. A patchwork pencil skirt in panels of calf hair and merino, for example, worked beautifully with a long, lightweight cashmere coat and sweater, while luxurious fur details accentuated everything from pockets to sleeves.
Also noteworthy were fluid, three-quarter-length floral print dresses, which evoked a certain Seventies glamour while being completely relatable to the Lafayette 148 customer.
