ABOUT A+O X KIDSUPER

Stacey Bendet’s enthusiasm for the changing fashion landscape is encapsulated by this season’s partnership with KidSuper. “To me, [Dillane] is the epitome of what the future of American fashion should be,” Bendet says. “He cares about people, he cares about sustainability, and he makes really cool clothes.” Their partnership began with KidSuper teaching a class on growing a contemporary fashion brand on Creatively, Bendet’s social network for creatives. From there, the duo enthusiastically conceptualized a prom-themed capsule collection, and became friends.

The collection features five alice + olivia evening silhouettes with KidSuper artwork, fit for celebrating prom or any event to honor growth and new chapters. “I could design a million prom dresses,” Dillane says. Both Dillane and Bendet are united in their joy for independent paths to a design career, and supporting others as they break into the industry. “You know how a lot of people talk and say, ‘I’d love to help!’ and never help? Stacey actually helped. She’s been able to connect dots that really, really helped,” Dillane says.
