Known for his fresh, polished and effortless appeal, Mr. Lippes brings accessibility to his new line for HSN.  Love ADAM fuses refined casual and chic elements into versatile and wearable essentials.

About Adam Lippes:

ADAM, founded by Creative Director and Chief Executive Officer Adam Lippes, is a fresh, polished, and wearable contemporary sportswear collection for women. Prior to launching his own line, Lippes worked closely alongside Oscar de la Renta in his atelier for eight years, where he became one of the youngest designers to hold the position of Global Creative Director in the luxury fashion world. Determined to pursue his dream of designing his own collection, he launched a line of cotton basics under the label “adampluseve,” which evolved into what is now known simply as ADAM. In August 2007, Adam was inducted as a member of the prestigious Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA). Adam staged his first formal runway show during New York‘s Fashion Week in September to great critical review, gracing the cover of Women’s Wear Daily the following day. Later that year, Adam opened his first freestanding boutique in Manhattan‘s stylish Meatpacking District where his men’s and women’s collections are currently showcased alongside a selection of hand-picked lifestyle items. ADAM joined Kellwood as the first acquisition in a series of aggressive expansion plans for the company in August 2010. Kellwood designs, manufactures, and markets a growing collection of premier fashion brands across a broad range of consumer lifestyles including Rebecca Taylor, Vince, Baby Phat, Phat Farm, Sag Harbor, Briggs NY, Jolt, and My Michelle as well as licensed brands XOXO and David MeisterKellwood‘s operational strategies and infrastructure will allow ADAM to grow into a global lifestyle brand.

Today the collection is available at ADAM retail stores, ADAM’s e-commerce site ShopADAM.com, and over 250 stores in 10 countries around the world, including Bergdorf Goodman, Intermix, Net-A-Porter.com, Saks Fifth Avenue, Scoop, Harrod’s, and Lane Crawford.
