Stacey Bendet wanted to summarize what female empowerment was, is and will be with a powerful collection that pays homage to history’s female power players in her Fall 2018 Alice +  Olivia collection. She showed how far we have come and how far we still need to go.

The collection was shown in a series of rooms where each room represented an important chapter in the history of women. Notable rooms were the Women’s Bill of Rights Room, the Rococo Rock n’ Roll Room and the Chinoiserie Noir and Gold rooms. Each room was created with the inspiration of a specific benchmark in feminine history with clothes that reflected the progress.

Much of the collection is powerful and sharp with tailored silhouettes that emphasize a woman’s shape but at the same time are also inspired by menswear. Bendet kept the severe silhouettes fun for the season by using bright colors and floral prints to bring in femininity. Other pieces were ruffled and traditionally feminine as Marie Antoinette was one of the inspirations for this collection.

You can see some of the rococo touches inspired by traditional French prints were used in the collection. Bendet used modern cuts and colors to keep them current. Many of the looks in this collection are great for a power woman to showcase not only her femininity but also her point of view.

The collection was styled very aggressively by mixing prints and color, but separately the pieces are very wearable and a fun addition to any wardrobe. The collection spans casual, work and evening wear which also helps tie into her overarching theme of what a woman was, could and will be.
