Lake Forest’s Wendy Franzen invited her friend, famed New York designer Adam Lippes to showcase his winter and spring collections at the historic North Shore estate of Francesca Connell. Franzen, Connell, and Sheridan Road magazine’s Editor in Chief Dustin O’Regan hosted the soiree. Guests perused the sumptuous fabrics and prints of Lippes’ lines as the designer weighed in on fit and pattern. The brand is inspired by Lippes’ personal aesthetic for unhurried elegance and understated design. Ladies exited the event with arms full of glamourous goodies. adamlippes.com
