Adam Selman Spring 2017

Rihanna’s style is effortless. She can make even the most simple look stunning by way of her extreme confidence and undeniable swag. Frequent collaborator Adam Selman creates clothes for her and his latest Spring 2017 collection seemed designed for women like her: The ones who can rock a lingerie inspired dress with a glass of wine and furry slippers and still cause onlookers to stare and swoon.

Spring 2017 chez Selman was all about ease, confidence, and comfort with a kick. The runway was peppered with pieces that could easily transition from day to night: easy striped shirt frocks, crop tops, maxi dresses, and shimmering sequined cocktails underscored by easy footwear–sneakers, laced up wedges, and peep toe booties.

Colors were muted with pinks, light blues, and creamy whites. Eye catching bold stripes found their way onto knit polo tops, cinched waist gowns, and jazzy two piece sets. Boudoir inspiration will continue into next Spring with pajama inspired sets that could go from a daytime barbecue to the bedroom. Yes, Rihanna will be in these pieces, but scores of ‘it girls’ will flock to it as well. Recent trends have tapered towards women being their unapologetic selves and not sacrificing comfort for style. I’m on board!What do you think?Images: Maria Valentino
