Adam Lippes Opening Uptown Manhattan Store in Building With Glam Pedigree

The designer, who is celebrating 20 years in business, is opening a private shopping salon in a townhouse on Fifth Avenue and 64th Street in an apartment where disco queen Donna Summer used to live.

That’s when he found the building and inspiration struck to create a Halston-like salon experience, where Lippes will also have an apartment for himself, one with quite the fashion pedigree — swan and society favorite designer Adolfo once lived there. The retail expansion comes on the heels of Lippes opening a new store last month in the River Oaks neighborhood of Houston, home to his financial investors, the Sarofim family, and their fund-management empire. He’s also slated to open a store in Palm Beach in September, and the Brookfield Place store in New York will remain open.

The classics kept coming, including crisp funnel neck shirting, a blue shirt stripe top-and-pants set, buttery soft black high-waist leather pants with bold gold buttons, and a lightly distressed shrunken leather bomber jacket. “We’ve never done leather clothing, and now we’re working with I think the finest manufacturer in the world of leather,” he said of the new step.
