Trend Designer Attracts Inspiration From Travels

World traveler and native New Yorker Edward Wilkerson brings a world aesthetic and complicated type to today’s modern American woman.
As design director for Lafayette 148 New York, Wilkerson travels the globe for inspiration. He brings wealthy cultural touches to his feminine, chic designs utilizing luxurious fabrics and exquisite tailoring. A true artist, Wilkerson is impressed by the tradition, architecture and rich palettes of each exotic locale he visits. “Touring has taught me to see the sweetness in everything,” Wilkerson said.
He designs polished and complicated separates that enable a woman to create her personal particular person style. Mixing fabric, texture and shade is a hallmark of the Lafayette 148 collection.
Drawing from Indochine influences, Lafayette 148′s early season choices are expressed in sheer fabrics, creating a light-weight, ethereal mood. Contrast is essential; comfortable leathers blended with flowing chiffon and cotton seersucker teamed with fluid linen. The spa-inspired colors -; beach glass, taupe, muslin and coral -; are accented with lustrous gold. Flowing, female skirts in both solids and prints are coupled with fitted, short jackets.
Wilkerson’s Moroccan sojourn is obvious in a grouping of colours and materials that recall to mind a brightly coloured street bazaar: suppose spicy saturated shades of cinnabar, curry, chocolate and orchid. Distinctive handcrafted elaborations akin to beading, embroidery and jeweled sequins define the look.
Another group evokes a classy seaside resort vacation spot: wild Ibiza with vivid, colourful prints; or dazzling St. Barth’s with its white sand seashores and clear blue water. White featherweight knits are paired with full folkloric skirts. Cool, breezy attire are summer time should-haves.
The Lafayette 148 New York Collection is out there at Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom and greater than 250 high quality specialty shops throughout the U.S.
