Adam Lips traveled to Japan last December, visited Tokyo and Kyoto, and stayed in a Ryokan in Shujenji. He returned, such as many, “a culture looking for a high form of frequent perfection about a culture.” The journey is informing their recent collections; A journey through Sicily was the initial point for their pre-fall outing, for the resort it is naturally Japan.

The silk and lurex made of a quilt of a gun top and slim line skirts felt almost weightless, and a simple yet striking V-neck gown that glides on the body were cut with a single seam using a Japanese pattern-making technique. He took out a tank dress in a luxurious fabric made of silk and metal. “It is a little pushed to me, not to be pressed,” he discovered his own for a high form of perfection, an unexpected, panoramic result.
