Named after the SoHo address where it was founded, Lafayette 148 New York is a New York-based luxury womenswear brand known for intelligent, understated design, impeccable craftsmanship, luxurious materials, and a modern, New York aesthetic. With its own design studio and production facility, it is rarity in the fashion world: a truly vertically integrated brand. In 1996, Lafayette 148’s founders Deirdre Quinn, Shun Yen Siu and Ida Siu had a singular vision of fashion’s future. They imagined a company that combined concept, design and production all under one roof. A place with a globally minded culture that married its Eastern and Western roots and took an inclusive approach to design, making beautiful, meticulously constructed clothing for accomplishing women everywhere. And Lafayette 148 was born. Today, the company employs more than 300 people in the United States, and 1,000 worldwide. In Fall 2018, Lafayette 148 moved its corporate headquarters to an expansive, sustainably renovated loft space in the Brooklyn Navy Yard, continuing its tradition of innovation in the fashion industry. Globally, customers can explore the world of Lafayette 148 New York at one of thirty-nine freestanding boutiques in the US, Canada and China, with more planned in the coming year. Lafayette 148 New York is also available in the world’s most luxurious stores, including Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdales, Holt Renfrew, as well hundreds of high-end specialty boutiques across North America.
