The sensational feeling left the fashionista feeling a sense of pure pride for the stunning female form. Every piece in the collection made way for a glorious female battle cry. Soft, yet powerful, the collection outshone anything else the week has offered.

The surrealist journey through American history, culture, and fashion through the lens of the American Woman took place ahead of the 250th anniversary of the United States.

Bendet presents a collection and set that honor the women who have shaped the nation’s spirit across centuries.

“In 2026, as we honor the 250th anniversary of the United States, we celebrate the American woman,” says Stacey Bendet, Founder, Creative Director, and CEO of alice + olivia. “A woman who has shaped our culture, inspired our art, defined our fashion, and moved through history with strength and style. This collection is a love letter to her!”

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 an undone tie. Preppy staples such as polos, collegiate knits, baggy jeans, pleated minis, and floor-length ball skirts come in bright, playful mixed stripes.
