For resort, Lafayette 148’s Emily Smith embarked on a journey to the Arctic in search of the mesmerizing Northern Lights, aiming to celebrate the beauty of mother nature. In Norway, Smith and her team ventured on various adventures in pursuit of witnessing the celestial show, knowing that it is not guaranteed and sometimes requires chasing the light.

Infused with the magic of the Aurora Borealis, the new collection by Lafayette 148 features holographic details and a dreamy pastel palette. From a gold crackled leather explorer jacket to a tinsel-woven beige sweater, the lineup includes starry embellishments such as sequins and Swarovski stones, inspired by the dancing lights in the Arctic sky.

One standout piece is a Northern Lights print dress, created from a photo taken by Smith during her time in Norway. The dress, layered over a sequined slip, captures the ethereal beauty of the lights with its hazy pastel colors. Additionally, a tan suit adorned with delicate pastel brushstrokes adds a touch of elegance to the collection.

Smith explained, “Everything really speaks to the movement of the lights—they’re not static but actually dance in the air, creating a beautiful spectacle.” The collection caters to Lafayette 148 devotees with a range of options, from liquid silk gowns for special occasions to ballgown skirts paired with classic knits for a cool ’90s alternative.

For everyday wear, the lineup includes heavy cashmere ribbed trousers, coated cotton expedition jackets, and versatile sweaters like a modern take on the classic fair isle pattern. With pieces that transition seamlessly from day to night, Lafayette 148 offers a wardrobe for individuals leading dynamic and ever-changing lives.
