If Christina Aguilera's classic "What A Girl Wants" were on the soundtrack to anyone's life, it would most definitely be Adam Selman's. Luckily for all gals with an eye for casual glamour and sporty sex appeal, after getting his start designing statement-making costumes for #1 bad gal Rihanna, Adam branched out to start his own eponymous line. For the past two seasons, the New York-based designer has continued to prove why he is an up-and-coming womenswear force, creating innovative looks that no girl, from Rita Ora to the everyday chick, can resist.
For Fall/Winter 2014, Adam looked to the textiles and culture of India for inspiration. While there aren't any Swarovski crystal CFDA gowns present in this collection, the prints and shapes more than make up for it. The blue-and-black splatter print, initially recalling a very colorful cow, was inspired by the Hindi Holi dye festival. (There is, however, a very sharp pair of paint-splattered overalls that is, um, spot on.) The seed print, meanwhile, is a traditional block print from saris. Meanwhile, a quilted miniskirt and coat add just the right amount of West Coast glam (we hear Adam's a fan of Beverly Hills Madam). And if this plethora of options isn't enough, you can top it all off with Riri's new favorite 3-Way Stocking Cap. Mission to look like your favorite bad-ass popstar: complete.
Ladies, take note: Adam Selman is the only man you need in your life.
