Inspired by a Japanese photography exhibition at the Peabody Museaum in Boston, ADAM showcased this Fall 2009 Collection.
While other designers’ drab and dismal collections mirror the state of the economy right now, ADAM by Adam Lippes went against the grain and shot bursts of color right up the runway. The vibrant hues of the cherry blossoms, combined with the rich textures of the Samurais' uniforms and bold prints of the geishas' kimonos formed the basis for the collection, and certainly impacted the hair and makeup looks.
A basic black dress was given a drawstring neck with cutout detail and unexpectedly paired with cranberry tights. In addition, ADAM incorporated delicate details like embroidered Japanese cherry blossoms against a lush blue silk backdrop, gold embroidery down the side of a winter white shift, carefully crafted ruffles on a metallic skirt and an incredibly textural basketweave-detailed sweatshirt to give the feel of Japanese armor.
