Fashion Designer Draws Inspiration From Travels

World traveler and native New Yorker Edward Wilkerson brings a world aesthetic and complicated model to at this time’s trendy American woman.
As design director for Lafayette 148 New York, Wilkerson travels the globe for inspiration. He brings rich cultural touches to his female, stylish designs utilizing luxurious materials and exquisite tailoring. A real artist, Wilkerson is impressed by the culture, structure and rich palettes of each unique locale he visits. “Traveling has taught me to see the wonder in every part,” Wilkerson said.
He designs polished and complex separates that enable a girl to create her own individual style. Mixing material, texture and color is a trademark of the Lafayette 148 collection.
Drawing from Indochine influences, Lafayette 148′s early season offerings are expressed in sheer fabrics, creating a light-weight, ethereal mood. Contrast is key; smooth leathers blended with flowing chiffon and cotton seersucker teamed with fluid linen. The spa-impressed colours -; seaside glass, taupe, muslin and coral -; are accented with lustrous gold. Flowing, feminine skirts in both solids and prints are coupled with fitted, brief jackets.
Wilkerson’s Moroccan sojourn is apparent in a grouping of colors and materials that call to mind a brightly coloured avenue bazaar: think spicy saturated shades of cinnabar, curry, chocolate and orchid. Distinctive handcrafted elaborations equivalent to beading, embroidery and jeweled sequins outline the look.
One other group evokes an elegant seaside resort destination: wild Ibiza with vibrant, 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 on the market at Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom and greater than 250 fantastic specialty stores throughout the U.S.
