Adam Lippes is the designer behind ADAM, a label which showed its Fall 2009 Collection on Valentine’s day here at New York Fashion Week.<\/p>\n

5 Min \u2013 What was the inspiration for your collection?<\/span><\/p>\n

Adam \u2013<\/span> On a visit to The Peabody Museum, I saw an exhibit of photographs from the Edo Period (1850’s) in Japan, just after they had opened the country to rest of the world. These were hand-painted photos designed to attract tourists of that period to Japan. What caught my eye was the serenity of the images, [and the] bright colors that the hand-painting brought to the photographs. You can see it most in the colors and embroidery in my collection for this season, if not the actual silhouette.<\/p>\n

5 Min \u2013 Can you show me an example?<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Adam \u2013<\/span> With this jacket we used embroidery to create this crane feather detail, based on Japanese drawings from that period, bringing the art itself to life.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

5 Min \u2013 How would you describe the silhouettes you designed this collection around.<\/span><\/p>\n

Adam<\/span> \u2013 Well it’s mostly pants and skirts for a lean profile. I design for an eclectic girl.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

5 Min \u2013 What inspired you to become a designer?<\/span><\/p>\n

Adam<\/span> \u2013 Well, I’ve always wanted to be a designer. After getting my degree in psychology at Cornell, I traveled to Paris. It was there that I made the decision to become a designer. After that I worked at places like Oscar De La Renta, and now I’m here.<\/p>\n

5 Min \u2013 In a hundred years, what do you think history will say about you?<\/span><\/p>\n

Adam<\/span> \u2013 That I created clothes that were colorful, fun, wearable, and approachable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
