On Saturday, September 13, fashion brand alice + olivia presented its Spring/Summer 2026 collection. The presentation was aptly held at Surrogate’s Court in Manhattan, a beautiful government building, as the collection was all about Americana and the American woman.
New York City’s Hall of Records was fully decked out and transformed into a journey of American history, culture, and lifestyle for founder and designer Stacey Bendet’s newest collection. Gorgeous sets of a reimagined Constitution, life-sized food and sports equipment, and even a 20-foot Statue of Liberty-type look embodied the essence of Americana. “In 2026, as we honor the 250th anniversary of the United States, we celebrate the American woman,” Bendet said in a statement. “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!”
Bold colors, striped patterns, and beautiful florals are always a staple at alice + olivia, and this season didn’t disappoint! Red, white, and blue stripes were reminiscent of the American flag, while rich fabrics and flowy chiffons created a Gilded Age sense of glamour. Sportswear is a big part of American culture, so you best believe that Bendet incorporated that in her collection! Giant tennis rackets, badminton shuttlecocks, and footballs graced the set while the models sported tennis skirts and green pants. For a more boss-woman kind of vibe, the classic men’s suit was reimagined in a bright red color and an undone tie.
