In the late nineties
Adrian met Nico
Urquiza. This
meeting would
eventually lead to
the famed House
of Nico & Adrian
NY. For ten years,
Adrian worked with Nico to create
a collection that featured unique
and outrageous designs. Together
they presented runway shows that
were so scandalous in their overt
sexiness that many of the world’s top
models and fashion photographers
came calling for collaborations.
Their designs would come to be
photographed by Steven Meisel
and David LaChappelle. Linda
Evangelista graced the cover of
Italian Vogue in their spiked wrestler
helmet.
Currently Adrian has been keenly
focused on the evolution and
continued growth of “Adrian Alicea
Haute Couture”. Celebrating his
growth as an artist and paying
tribute to his Latino and Taino Indian
roots, Adrian quietly states: “I love
color. I love music. I love dance. I
want my designs to bring people joy.
I make everything
by hand. Each
piece is unique,
I put everything
into my work--my
heart, my soul,
my love. I want
everyone who
wears my designs to feel special,
to feel proud, to know that they are
different and that they have the
right to be.”
I’ve had the pleasure of working
