ALICE + OLIVIA Fall 2026

ALICE + OLIVIA’s Fall Winter 2026 collection was a study in Gilded Age grandeur filtered through a modern lens. Stacey Bendet transformed New York’s Surrogate’s Court into a cinematic stage where romance, ambition, and industrial spectacle collided. The lineup explored the tension between historical codes and contemporary dressing, pairing Victorian-inspired lace, corsetry, and sweeping skirts with jeans, tailored trousers, and puffer jackets. Gold and pearl embroideries glimmered alongside velvet, lamé, and crystal-accented denim, creating a dialogue between refinement and defiance. Every piece asserted presence, from detachable bustles and sculptural capes to chain-mail camisoles and paillette skirts that caught the light like candle flames.

The collection’s narrative extended beyond clothing to fabrication and presentation. ALICE + OLIVIA employed proprietary AI to render photorealistic embellishments that artisans translated into embroidery, preserving craft while enhancing precision. Beauty and styling reinforced the romantic spectacle, with pearl-accented braids, luminous skin, and deep red lips echoing the collection’s devotion to ornament and control. Immersive vignettes inside the Beaux-Arts space, including monumental pearl necklaces, antique automobiles, and oversized books, turned the show into a living tableau of progress and excess. Fall Winter 2026 proved that Bendet’s vision of power, opulence, and theatricality remains as precise as it is enchanting.
