For Spring 2026, Stacey Bendet transformed Manhattan’s Surrogate’s Court into a grand stage for alice + olivia, blurring the line between runway and spectacle. Guests were greeted by a striking tableau: a model embodying Lady Liberty, perched above the entryway in a cascading white floral gown that tumbled down the marble steps and across the plaza.
With this season’s Spring 2026 debut, Bendet reaffirmed her brand’s place at the heart of New York Fashion Week which was an exuberant celebration of identity, artistry, and the enduring spirit of the American woman.
