Alice + Olivia designer Stacey Bendet is holed up on the Pierre whereas her house is being renovated. Not a foul non permanent residence, eh? So it was fairly handy to host her Spring 2015 presentation within the lodge’s grand ballroom and lobby, which has frescoes of Versailles on the partitions. There was additionally the matter of this season’s inspiration, which occurred to be a visit Bendet took to the famed palace this previous spring along with her mom and daughter. Kismet, it appeared.
Bendet took inspiration from the trendy artwork installations usually hosted at Versailles, reworking certainly one of her previous pal Lola Schnabel’s work right into a print. It landed on a full skirt and a pleated high, in addition to a fitted sheath. The designer additionally created a digital print out of a photograph she took of the gardens throughout the journey, and confirmed a sweater embroidered with little crowns and different remembrances of Marie Antoinette’s courtroom.
There had been loads of ’70s influences, too—handkerchief attire; excessive-waist, huge-leg trousers—many impressed by her mom’s wardrobe from the period. There have been ’50s-type tea clothes and beaded robes as nicely. Certainly, it was loads—39 seems to be in all. Could Bendet have minimize that quantity in half? Almost. But given the marvelous venue, you could possibly forgive her for being overzealous. Standout items included a pair of blue-and-white-striped culottes, a key search for Spring; a sweatshirt overlaid with embroidered organza; and maybe most notably, a collection of embellished collarless jackets. (A multicolored model with a captivating fowl motif was notably memorable.) Bendet has proven comparable items previously, however this time they only actually labored. The colours have been vibrant and contemporary. And they captured that informal glitz Bendet so enjoys. “In the Pierre, all the things ought to sparkle,” she stated. And it did.
