It began at 148 Lafayette Street in the heart of SoHo, New York.


What started as a garment factory specializing in tailoring became the foundation for Lafayette 148 New York. Co-Founders Deirdre Quinn, Shun Yen Siu and Ida Siu built the House on exceptional craftsmanship, technical precision and an unwavering commitment to quality. Today, under the creative direction of Emily Smith, those same principles continue to evolve for a new generation of accomplished women.
