The Lafayette Dress
Velvet tailoring. Defined silhouette.
Tailored with sharp precision and softened depth.
The Lafayette is cut in structured velvet with a sculpted double-breasted silhouette, strong shoulder line, and elongated lapel framing the neckline. Gold-tone buttons bring subtle contrast against the richness of the fabric, while the clean line through the body creates a composed, elongated shape.
Balancing classic tailoring with modern femininity, it is designed for evening dressing with quiet confidence and polished ease.
