"I just want everything to be easy," said Adam Lippes of his ADAM Resort collection—not surprising from a designer who began with T-shirts. But here Lippes achieved T-shirt ease with khaki cotton sateen cut into a smart little dress or cropped pantsuit; great pieces like a quilted bolero with tulle-covered crystals (still refreshingly simple in all white); and maxi dresses in buttery jersey or featherweight taffeta. Despite his vacation bent, the designer stressed the wear-now factor, particularly in multitasking knits that will be right for Barbados and the Bowery.
