Lafayette 148 New York showed its Resort 2027 collection in New York.
The brand drew inspiration from women artists in New Mexico, including Dorothy Brett and Mabel Dodge Luhan. Designer Emily Smith noted that the artists stripped back their clothes to necessity for the land. The palette features rich Sedona clay, dusty blues, and burnt orange. Denim effects appear in flecked wool, while leather trim and snap buttons keep a polished look. A speckled tan cowhide jacket stands out for versatility.
