VOGUE A Gilded Evening: Lafayette 148 and Sotheby’s Support Save Venice With a Gorgeous Dinner By Gaby Keiderling Art conservation, an inspired capsule collection, and a gorgeously set dinner awaited those who entered Casa Valle—the?interior design?gallery of Jane Keltner de Valle and her husband Giancarlo Valle—on Tuesday evening. All were gathered to celebrate Lafayette 148’s new capsule collection, which benefits Save Venice (it’s the fashion label’s latest show of support for the arts charity). And to bring more art into the mix, the event was cohosted by?Sotheby's Magazine?and its editor in chief Kristina O'Neill. ? “We started to partner with?Save Venice?in 2021. Eventually, they came to us with the opportunity to be one of the sponsors of the restoration of Giulia Lama's ‘Virgin in Prayer’—a rare find from a woman artist from the 1700s,” says Lafayette 148 creative director Emily Smith tells?Vogue. “We then wanted to do a small capsule to celebrate it. That's what we are doing here tonight—with Sotheby's—to bring fashion, art, and culture together.” ? Guests clad in the sophisticated Lafayette 148's pieces—including?Lauren Santo Domingo, Amy Astley, and Dasha Zhukova—made their way upstairs to the distinguished dining room for a candlelit dinner. “Giancarlo and I started dreaming up this dinner, and now here it is months later. The idea behind this space is that yes, it's a gallery, but we also want it to be a place where people can come together, be inspired, start new conversations, and leave with new ideas,” Jane Keltner De Valle says of the new Casa Valle. ? Every detail was meticulously selected by Celine Yousefzadeh, founder of CY Kitchen, as she brought?Venice?to New York for a night. From the small bites that were influenced by Venetian Cicchetti to her caviar served at dinner in Murano glass bowls, the magic was in the minutia. The flowers and tones were even nods to the Veneto region. ? A toast from O'Neill opened the dinner; Smith said a few words, and then the night was afoot. O'Neill says, “When I started at Sotheby's, we started thinking about how we could deepen our relationship between a publication and brands. With Lafayette 148 doing something in a space where we are looking to engage our audience—the Save Venice restoration—there's just a really nice organic overlap.” An organic and intimate evening it was.

Unveiling Spring 2025. Lafayette 148 presented the Spring 2025 collection by Creative Director Emily Smith Monday at 50 Ninth, a private Manhattan loft, and invited guests “In the Drawing Studio.” https://lnkd.in/ePQFR-ep #L148Spring2025

VOGUE - Lafayette 148 New York Spring 2025 Collection For spring 2025, Lafayette 148’s Emily Smith took us inside an artist’s studio. “Spring is synonymous with new beginnings, and drawing is sort of the birth of every creative thing,” she explained at the presentation held in a Manhattan loft. The Lafayette 148 team had zeroed in specifically on the act of figure drawing with charcoal; the sinuous style lines that are first laid down on paper became fringe details across the bodice of a simple long-sleeve maxidress; the dust that comes off a charcoal pencil inspired a subtle curvilinear jacquard pattern; and most importantly, the smudges created when a hand brushes against a drawing were turned into a spectacular print on a suit and trench coat. What made the latter so special was that the print was specifically placed on the garment; big swipes of color—jutting across buttonholes on the bottom of a tuxedo jacket worn with matching pajama pants or wrapping around the trench—were made without any side seams so that the swooping lines would remain unbroken. Other inspiration came from the beautiful chaos that exists inside a studio. The half-finished drawings and inspiration images tacked on the walls were the basis for a cream knit sweater with hand-knitted embellished flaps and a simple A-line dress with a sweetheart neckline covered in small squares of fabric, like a mosaic, in shades of beige, white, blue, orange, and yellow. The color palette was subdued: a pale chalk yellow and a shade of blue borrowed from charcoal paper. Another highlight in the collection was a long jacquard dress with a textured fil coupé in a shade of pencil gray and chalk yellow that was meant to emulate charcoal dust but mostly had really enchanting textural appeal.
