Nearly everything (with the exception of the poor purple and pink outfit that Martha got stuck wearing) looks really light and lovely.

I didn't expect to like this (usually not a huge fan of AL) but I actually like it! Even though it's not very 'me', I think it's a bit sweet and quirky and the bright colours are memorable.

Reviews of this Adam Lippes S/S 09 collection:

NEW YORK, September 6, 2008

By Romney Leader

Not even a last-minute tropical storm-induced shift indoors could ruffle Adam Lippes' feathers. "I think the colors will pop even more against all this brown," he said of his 11th-hour venue, a Victorian Gothic church in Chelsea. And pop they did, in hues inspired by MoMA's color-chart exhibit earlier this year. Lippes was at his best when he kept it bright and uncomplicated—with a cerulean georgette gown, for example (a shorter version in amber was also nice). Other standouts included a pair of groovy shift dresses, one embroidered with a rainbow of molded plastic beads and another with clear Lucite shapes that swished like fringe down the catwalk. With the exception of some distracting straps and buckles, this solid collection should spell fair weather ahead for Lippes.

HURRACAINE Hannah rained on Adam Lippes' runway parade, which was prepped to take place outdoors in Chelsea's enchanting Seminary Garden.
Indoors, however, in an ornate church on the garden's grounds, Lippes' artistic vision flourished. "So much inspiration came from MoMa's Color Chart exhibition months earlier. Those great artists' ground-breaking and irreverent use of colour, shapes and materials filled me with admiration and excitement," he expressed in his note to attendees.
While colour was indeed eye candy, a more literal candy showed up on a beaded dress that looked like it was created from Skittles or Smarties. Yet real deliciousness came through in bright sporty separates; think linen and viscose knit running shorts, with an elastic banded top to match.

“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.”

I think most of these silhouettes are pretty typical, but the colors make them interesting. I love those little rompers, and that sparkly jacket that Siri is wearing.

 

[cordeeelia]
