Adam Adam Lippes Collection
September 6, 2008
ADAM Adam Lippes RTW Spring 2009
“Fall got very serious,” Lippes said a few days before his spring show. “I want to have fun with clothes.” To wit, the collection he showed Saturday, which moved indoors thanks to Hurricane Hanna, was a feel-good for sure. And what’s more festive than spangles? Lippes opened with a shirtdress covered in punchy black and white paillettes and a kicky ombré skirt. A series of strong black, white and gray looks followed, but color proved to be key. Fluorescents — fuschia, electric blue and yellow — inspired by MoMA’s recent Color Chart exhibition brightened up everything from a silk romper to a knit tank embroidered with multicolored discs meant to imitate Smarties candy. Yes, the collection had a sweet side, but of the delightfully sportif sort, via tennis sweaters and terrific silk running shorts. Overall, the collection was as upbeat and interesting as it was wearable. Well, for the most part. “I don’t know where you’re going in this,” said Lippes of a yellow dress fully embroidered in chunky Lucite baubles. “Probably Miami.”
