Life of Adrian
The Atelier

Brand history

Couturier and acclaimed MGM Costume Designer, Gilbert Adrian, epitomized glamorous dressing during Hollywood’s Golden Age, and helped to celebrate and define the American woman of his time. Adrian, as he was known, became an iconic and transformative design force through his creations for movies, celebrities, and later on, with his own fashion house. His avant garde approach to dressing women with confidence, grace, and a singular sense of style, is the essence and inspiration for the revival of the Adrian Original brand. This legacy transcends the decades, and is reflected in Adrian Original’s enduring and relevant designs for the modern woman. Captivating, feminine, and innately self-assured, the Adrian Original collection links heritage with innovation, style with substance, and drama with abandon.
