A decade after starting his business, Adam Lippes appears to have a new lease on life at creative life.
After establishing your product and customer base, you will move into the “gold dust” phase of your brand, focusing your attention on the visual and marketing side, including working with stylist Malina Gilchrist for fall 2024.
The result was a stronger, tougher mood and a collection without a single floral in sight, which included plenty of excellent tailoring mixed with his signature sportswear sensibility, honed over years at Ralph Lauren and Oscar de la Rent.
Lippes' masculine herringbone jacket studded with crystals is likely to be on many a fall wish list, while a suit with a slightly cropped cardigan jacket and pants in a fabulous salt 'n' pepper tweed was a sportier and totally American look of tailoring. trend.
“The raincoat is made of a wool silk that is waterproof and has that elasticity, there is a double-face cashmere that is thick and holds you in and that was last used by Dior couture, which is in a blue blazer with a fitted waist and a navy blue dress with a trimming collar,” she said, noting that she now travels and works directly with a fabric mill in Como, Italy, to source her fine fabrics.
In addition to that bit of lace, she sprinkled some sparkle on fishnet skirts that can be worn flat (and perhaps over pants), or with a layer of horsehair tulle. In line with the season's minimalist vibe, elegant silk crepe column dresses and skirts with subtle fringe trim were presented, paired with crystal rope belts. And for the next-generation customers Lippes hopes to reach? Embellished bra tops.
Of the collection, Lippes said, “It was a little bit out of my comfort zone, which is good.”
