"  Photo: Getty Images Shop Boyz wrote those famous lyrics about partying like a rock star, but come New York Fashion Week, you may be able to dress like one, too. Thank Rihanna&amp;#039;s main costumier Adam Selman, who is debuting his premiere collection on September 5 at the Algus Greenspon Gallery. If his name sounds familiar, it&amp;#039;s because he&amp;#039;s been in the biz for a while. After graduating from Pratt, he went on to work for Gwen Stefani&amp;#039;s L.A.M.B., Lady Gaga&amp;#039;s Monster Ball tour, and Michael Jackson&amp;#039;s This Is It tour. Nowadays, RiRi loves to share photos wearing his creations via social media and he also helped launch her River Island collection as head designer. It was this project, he told WWD, that inspired him to venture out on his own. So after two years of creating utterly sexy costumes for the pop star (including her recent 777 Tour), he&amp;#039;s taking his sartorial eye to the masses. And yes, there will some festive very-RiRi swimwear (since he can be &amp;quot;a little bit more ridiculous&amp;quot; when it comes to beach pieces), but overall the line will be wearable. Expect retro lingerie and sporty influences, inspired by 1970s  Cosmopolitan covers and HBO&amp;#039;s 1981 special on supermodels, Beautiful Baby, Beautiful, respectively. There are sweatshirts and boxy tops, which lend a nod to hockey jerseys, as well as satin pastel robes and slip dresses. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s sexy. It&amp;#039;s that fantasy woman but it&amp;#039;s also sporty,&amp;quot; he said via WWD. &amp;quot;I really respond to that.&amp;quot; Will the buyers and shoppers take to it, too? Hopefully with the help of creative director Jen Brill (remember her awesome Cole Haan kicks?) and price points around $400 for a dress, they will. Selman plans to start small, crossing his fingers that Opening Ceremony, Net-A-Porter, and Barneys New York will pick up his collection. We&amp;#039;ll keep you posted once the critiques are in.
