Lafayette 148 New York is a brand synonymous with style, sophistication and elegant cuts and fabrics. We caught up with Edward Wilkerson, the designer of the women's luxury retail line before his appearance Thursday at Neiman Marcus in Boca Raton. Here's what the effervescent designer had to say about his flair for photography, the latest must-have items in his collection and why he loves coming to Neiman Marcus at Town Center at Boca Raton.

How would you define the style and silhouettes of Lafayette 148? 

"I always try to mix feminine with masculine. It's a balance. I really like texture. Lately I'm liking linen, but with a more wrinkled than defined look. I'm trying to develop a linen jacket that has more of a sweater feel. We also have so many great cotton jackets and windbreakers in beautiful, soft cotton that always look so flattering on. Our leather looks have also been very strong with beautiful stitching." 

Is offering a variety of fashion for petite, plus size and tall sizes something that's important to you and why? 

"It's something that has always been important to me. We've always dressed women of all sizes with this brand. It's something we could never imagine not doing." 

Where do you find inspiration for your designs? 

"I get inspiration from traveling or seeing someone walk down the street. You never know where that inspiration comes from. It could come from a trip to Florida or a tropical island. I'm constantly thinking about what I've done in the past and what worked or didn't. Looking back is always a good place to start." 

What do you take away from interacting with fans of your line at in-store events? 

"It means so much to me when a customer says they feel good in our clothes.

I brought champagne and basically the whole line into the dressing room for my customers to have fun with it. I always have the best time when I'm there." 

When you're not designing, what do you enjoy doing? 

"I'm constantly working on my photography to do a book. I just came back from a long trip to Europe. I've been working on this book for about 20 years. People always ask me why it's not finished yet. It's because I haven't been to all the places I wanted to go yet. I'm making it a fashion-inspired guide as well.
