Adam Lippes Resort 2026 Collection
Adam Lippes took a trip to Japan last December, visiting Tokyo and Kyoto, and staying at a ryokan in Shuzenji. He came back raving, as so many do, about 'a culture continually in search of a higher form of perfection.' Travel has been informing his recent collections; a trip through Sicily was the starting point for his pre-fall outing, for resort it's naturally Japan.
Pointing to the geometric mosaic print of a shirtdress in shades of navy, chocolate brown, gold, plum, and persimmon, Lippes namechecked Robert Motherwell's Lyric Suite, a series of 600 ink paintings. Motherwell used rick paper, rather than traditional canvas, which gave the paintings their 'delicate, translucent quality.' Japan's influence on this collection was indeed subtle. The references were present if you looked for them, in the relaxed shape of balloon pants, say, which are a nod to construction workers' uniforms, or the loose sleeves of wrap shirts, which are cut along the lines of a summery yukata. There was also a floral print inspired by a Meiji period lacquer box.
But you don't have to be a Japanophile to take pleasure in these clothes, whether it's the shine of a lacquered wool trench in a deep shade of burgundy or the brushed mohair of a boxy jacket. One wear of his 'sweatsuits' in luxurious double-face merino knit and you're never going back to standard issue cotton again. 'It's really sporty. Less dressy,' he said, riffling through the racks at a photoshoot. 'We're moving out of a sort of dress phase into separates—it feels right. A sheath dress is the easy thing to design and make, but she's wanting more interesting shapes.'
That goes for evening, as much as day. The quilted silk and lurex of a bandeau top and slim line skirt felt nearly weightless, and a simple yet striking v-neck gown that glides over the body was cut with a single seam using a Japanese pattern-making technique. He pulled out a tank dress in a crinkly fabric made from silk and metal. 'It's a little bit pushed for me, not to be pressed,' he laughed, his own search for a higher form of perfection yielding an unexpected, captivating result.

The Fashion Faceoff for the NBA Finals
As the Indiana Pacers and the Oklahoma City Thunder square off in this year's NBA Finals, the competition isn't just on the hardwood. The teams happen to have two of the most fashionable players in the league: the Thunder's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Indiana's Tyrese Haliburton. Advertisement More from WWD Their style is distinctly different, with Gilgeous-Alexander leaning toward streetwear, sporting looks from KidSuper, Chrome, Levi's and Vava. Haliburton generally prefers tailored clothing and is partial to The Row, Prada, Louis Vuitton, Saint Laurent and other luxury brands. He's also become known for his designer bags, opting for everything from Margaux and Bottega Veneta to Louis Vuitton and Hermès. Both men have amassed some big-time fashion cred. Gilgeous-Alexander is a one-time GQ Most Stylish Man of the Year, serves as the creative director of Converse Basketball, is a global ambassador for Canada Goose, recently starred in a Skims campaign and will have his own signature shoe this fall. Advertisement Oh, and he also led the league in scoring and was named most valuable player. Haliburton is no slouch either — in fashion or basketball. The two-time NBA All-Star is a global ambassador for both Puma and Movado and has appeared in campaigns for Gucci and Prada. While both players have their fans — both on the court and in the tunnel — Gilgeous-Alexander appears to have the edge. 'When Shai came into the league as a rookie with the L.A. Clippers, everyone took a huge liking to him,' said Ian Pierno of LeagueFits, a platform that focuses on the tunnel looks of NBA players. And from Day One, his fashion looks have been among the most popular on the site. 'He's universally loved, which is a rarity.' Advertisement Pierno said Gilgeous-Alexander leans into 'super, super elevated' streetwear and is today's equivalent of Allen Iverson and Dennis Rodman, both fashion trailblazers of the past. 'Shai has taken the Iverson swag and elevated it,' he said. Haliburton, on the other hand, is a prime example of fashion evolution. Pierno said in his first season with the Sacramento Kings, Haliburton was partial to graphic T-shirts and five-inch mesh shorts. 'Kid style,' he described it. 'It was like, 'I go to a state school and have an 8 a.m. class.' But he's gone through a major transformation. He's super into tailoring and bags.' But unlike Gilgeous-Alexander, the reaction from fans isn't quite so universal. Advertisement 'He's very divisive,' Pierno said. 'Half the comments we get say he's cool, and the other half say he dresses so badly. But he's adventured into fashion waters that no one has before.' So while the teams continue to battle on the court, there appears to be a clear winner in the fashion game. 'Shai's in a class of his own,' Pierno said. 'His team is the best dressed in the league, which is interesting since it's Oklahoma. But Shai has set such a high standard and it becomes a competition thing with his teammates.' Can Haliburton rebound? 'Shai loves to play with proportion and silhouette and I'm interested in what he'll wear for the finals,' Pierno said. 'But it's a best of seven series and no one has tried to replicate Tyrese yet.' Advertisement Best of WWD Sign up for WWD's Newsletter.

Paris Can Be Intimidating—But It Has Great Butter

This is an edition of The Atlantic Daily, a newsletter that guides you through the biggest stories of the day, helps you discover new ideas, and recommends the best in culture. Sign up for it here. The Innocents Abroad, Mark Twain's account of his international adventures, made him famous—and cemented the stereotype of the Ugly American. One hundred and fifty-eight years later, Caity Weaver followed him to Paris. Caity and I chatted about her hilarious recounting of her trip in The Atlantic, why Paris can feel so intimidating, and the only food she ate there that she actually liked. Isabel Fattal: If you could go back in time and travel to Paris with Mark Twain, would you? Caity Weaver: Could I be assured of a safe return? Isabel: Yes, for imagination's sake. Caity: Absolutely. I would go anywhere with him. One of the things I was struck by when I reread this book before my trip was how unbelievably funny it is. Of course I knew that Mark Twain was 'a humorist,' but there were sections where I was laughing out loud. I think a lot of times when people think of old books, they get an idea in their head of a book that's really stuffy or boring. But this was cracklingly interesting. As a reader, it's rewarding to come across prose like that. As a writer, it's extremely irritating and intimidating. This man was funnier than I'll ever be, and he did it in 1869. Isabel: Do you have a favorite line or passage from the book? Caity: There was a section where he wrote about what he calls 'the Old Travelers'—well-traveled know-it-alls you sometimes encounter abroad: 'They will not let you know anything. They sneer at your most inoffensive suggestions; they laugh unfeelingly at your treasured dreams of foreign lands; they brand the statements of your traveled aunts and uncles as the stupidest absurdities.' Isabel: If you could ask Twain one question about his trip, what would it be? Caity: I would say: 'Sam, Mr. Clemens, did you go to the Louvre? Did you set foot inside the Louvre, really?' I can't prove that he didn't, but I strongly suspect that he didn't. And I feel like he would tell me. Can't kid a kidder. Isabel: You write in your story about the possibility that Twain was ashamed about not understanding the art at the Louvre. Does visiting Paris make a person feel like they need to have a certain level of cultural knowledge? Did you feel intimidated at any point? Caity: I feel like a completely idiotic, disorganized, disheveled crumb bum anywhere, but especially in Paris. It's like walking into a very fancy hotel lobby. Some people are going to be really comfortable there, and some people are going to think, Am I gonna be arrested for walking into this hotel lobby? Paris is so just-so. I find it to be an intimidating place. The combination of not really speaking the language and the city being so beautiful … I felt a little bit on edge there. Isabel: I have one bone to pick with you. I think you were eating wrong in Paris. You didn't eat anything yummy! Caity: I sure didn't. (Well, I had great ramen.) Isabel: What went wrong? Caity: I didn't eat anything I absolutely loved except the butter. I had a crêpe suzette—delicious, and thrilling to have a small fire caused in a restaurant at your behest. I had some croissants. I really was hoping to be able to write, 'Oh my God, I found the best croissant in the world,' and I just don't think I did. But the butter: unbelievably good. I took so many notes for myself trying to describe the color and the taste of the butter. [Reads through her notes.] I suppose I am an Ugly American, because this is my description of butter: 'creamy; has a scent; smells almost like movie theater butter.' The color was such a rich, deep yellow, almost like how an egg yolk can sometimes tip over into orange. My notes say, 'So fatty and rich.' Next bullet point: 'like if the whole room were made out of pillows.' And then: 'Yes, I realize I am describing a padded cell.' But it was an ultimate richness, softness, like, Just let me roll around in a padded cell. That was how I felt eating this butter. I took dozens of photos in my hotel room trying to capture its exact hue, and failed to. I encountered another group of Americans in my hotel lobby who were trying to figure out a way to transport butter home in their luggage. I involved myself in their conversation, as Americans do: What if the hotel was willing to store it in a freezer, in an insulated lunch bag? We devoted quite a bit of time to solving this problem. Isabel: Did they ultimately give up? Caity: Oh, no, I think they're probably enjoying that butter right now. I wanted to bring a bunch of dried sausage back to the U.S. And then, after I purchased it, I realized that I could get in trouble for flying with it. I ate so much saucisson in my hotel room so fast. I worried such a dense concentration of salt might cause my heart to shut down. I Googled something like: How much dried sausage too much. Isabel: I'm feeling better about your food experience now. Read Caity's article here. Here are three Sunday reads from The Atlantic: Feudalism is our future.

One answer would be: a 10-year-old girl from Missouri. In 1956, according to lore, she took a version of the Stanford-Binet IQ test and recorded a mental age of 22 years and 10 months, equivalent to an IQ north of 220. (The minimum score needed to get into Mensa is 132 or 148, depending on the test, and the average IQ in the general population is 100.) Her result lay unnoticed for decades, until it turned up in The Guinness Book of World Records, which lauded her as having the highest childhood score ever. Her name, appropriately enough, was Marilyn vos Savant. And she was, by the most common yardstick, a genius. I've been thinking about which people attract the genius label for the past few years, because it's so clearly a political judgment. You can tell what a culture values by who it labels a genius—and also what it is prepared to tolerate. The Renaissance had its great artists. The Romantics lionized androgynous, tubercular poets. Today we are in thrall to tech innovators and brilliant jerks in Silicon Valley. Vos Savant hasn't made any scientific breakthroughs or created a masterpiece. She graduated 178th in her high-school class of 613, according to a 1989 profile in New York magazine. She married at 16, had two children by 19, became a stay-at-home mother, and was divorced in her 20s. She tried to study philosophy at Washington University in St. Louis, but did not graduate.
