“Since I launched, I have always been inspired by interiors,” said Adam Lippes, as he was showing his pre-fall collection. This time around, it was great Victorian rooms: the animal prints, the velvets, the murals on the walls.
Take, for instance, a silk burnout velvet with Lurex metallic jacquard leopard shirtdress, or a landscape mural jacquard miniskirt, both of which exuded Lippes’ maximalist premise with the contemporary ease for which his collections are known.
On the other side of the spectrum, which Lippes refers to as “ath-luxury,” he offered elevated versions of ath-leisure. Standouts included a silk cashmere sweatsuit with leg o’ mutton sleeves and a silky velvet pajamalike racer-back and trousers.
