Adam Lippes, who has been a CFDA Member since 2007, is one of our 10 designers to sell at the CFDA Loves LA shop within the new Fred Segal flagship on Sunset Boulevard. We asked the designer – an alum of Polo Ralph Lauren and Oscar de la Renta before branching out on his own in 2004 – about all things LA.

Why did you agree to participate in the CFDA Loves LA shop?

Fred Segal is iconic in LA and it was an honor to be included in the CFDA shop.

What do you love about LA the most?

The lifestyle.

What is the one must-have item of yours available in the shop?

Our merino bell sleeve knit – lightweight and luxurious.
