This Show Is Your ’90s Raver Dreams Come True
A favorite of style icon Rihanna, Adam Selman put himself on the New York Fashion Week map as a must-see in 2014. Remember Rihanna’s infamous naked dress she wore to the CFDAs? Yeah, well, you can thank Selman for blessing the world with a peek at Riri’s amazing body. Known for his fun, rebellious, and subversive designs, Selman has one of the most anticipated shows in the sometimes mundane scene of NYFW.
Did your ticket get lost in the mail? Here is everything you need to know to feel you were front row.
The designer: Adam Selman is a favorite of celebs like Rihanna and fashion editors alike. On Thursday, he presented a ’90s-inflected collection with a soft color palette of baby blush pink and dusky navy, with shots of sunset orange and yellow. The dreamy palette was accented by denim, corseted details, pleats, pearls, sequins, and platform lace-up shoes. The overall feel was Lolita-raver in the coolest way possible, and as usual, it made us want to follow wherever the Selman girl is going. (Photo: Imax Tree)
The front row: As always, Selman drew an eclectic crowd that included street style stars the Quan sisters in complementary colorful outfits, fashion “it” girl Alexa Chung in a chic shimmery outfit, and big-deal editors and critics like Cathy Horyn. (Photo: BFA)
#WantItNow: This beautiful spaghetti-strap dress is a rather simple design (with meticulous handiwork), but the iridescent fabric and embellishments make it a standout statement piece that will put all eyes on you wherever you go. In love! (Photo: Imax Tree)
The scene: Selman staged his show in a studio at Fashion Week staple Milk, with a neon “Adam Selman” sign decorated with a wild floral arrangement, and synthesized electronic music playing in the background. The vibe was a little ’90s underground rave — especially once the models came out looking like our Lolita-raver teenage dreams come true! (Photo: Imax Tree)
Trend alert! I’ve been seeing wide-legged pants with a half-wrap skirt attached. Is it the new slit skirt? All I know is that I want a pair! This denim one specifically. (Photo: Imax Tree)
Walk this way: Best shoes of the bunch? The denim western-meets-Victorian corseted platforms! Created in collaboration with Chris Habana, these are every free-spirited girl’s shoe dreams come true. Perfect to wear with a flowy maxi or denim dress — or those slit wide legs that have been spotted everywhere. (Photo: Imax Tree)
