Stacey Bendet approached the Spring 2026 collection as a reverie of the pioneering fearlessness, charisma, and pragmatism that have driven women across the country. The 45-look lineup capitalizes on American sportswear, the definitive anchor of any modern wardrobe. Bold minimalism and a sense of refined utility course through evening and daywear. A poppy red bias-cut jersey gown captures 1940s glamour in a clean, modernist silhouette. The classic men’s suit is redrawn in long, lean lines and worn with a crisp white button-down and undone tie. Preppy staples such as polos, collegiate knits, baggy jeans, pleated minis, and floor-length ball skirts come in bright, playful mixed stripes.
