The textiles were featured against works by artist Audra Weaser, a reflection of Lafayette’s recurring natural and artistic inspiration, and an installation of natural elements by Kelly Harridge Designs.

The L148 Swim collection is created in partnership with Italian swimwear master craftsmen. Each piece is consciously crafted from Econyl, a 100% re-generated nylon yarn developed from reclaimed ocean plastics.
