A fascinating tribute to the modest grandeur of mid-century style is Lafayette 148. The collection captures the spirit of a bygone age while being distinctly modern, drawing inspiration from the lesser-known Rockefeller Guest House, a Manhattan treasure created by Philip C. Johnson for art patron Blanchette Rockefeller.

Creative Director Emily Smith finds inspiration in the Rockefeller Guest House, a sanctuary for the arts and thought-provoking conversation. "I was captivated by the house's rich artistic history," Smith says. "Blanchette Rockefeller created a space that celebrated art and creativity, and I wanted to capture that spirit in our collection."

The overall effect is a tasteful fusion of plush textiles and silhouettes reminiscent of the 1950s. Consider using feminine yet rigid designs, clean lines, and a colour scheme that complements the warm tones of the Guest House's interior. Each piece in the collection is a study in subtle elegance, serving as a tribute to the timeless beauty of simplicity. The font's icon

Through his vision, photographer Amit Israeli breathes life into the collection. Israeli initiates a conversation between the past and present by contrasting the modern woman with the mid-century architecture. The campaign's subjects are presented as modern-day successors to Rockefeller, emulating her grace, wit, and refined taste.
