Founded in 1996 in SoHo, Lafayette 148 is a New York-based fashion house established by women, for women. The brand was co-founded by Deirdre Quinn, who had a background at Donna Karan, and is built on a philosophy of creating beautiful, high-quality clothing for modern, accomplishing women. A key differentiator for Lafayette 148 is its vertical integration; the company owns its own state-of-the-art production facility in Shantou, China, allowing for complete control over the process from sketch to final garment. This ensures a consistent standard of flawless construction and fit across its collections, which are known for clean lines, professional suiting, and elevated essentials in luxurious materials like Italian silks, wool, and cashmere.
