FALL 2024 PRESENTATION

A collaboration with Tom Wesselmann based on his three paintings Limitless, Still Life, and Natural Beauty, are the basis for the pieces featured throughout the collection. Wesselmann is an iconic artist heavily associated with the Pop-art movement of the ‘60s. His work includes collages and abstract assemblages of everyday objects.

To coincide with a life retrospective of his work later this year, the collection, shown against alice + olivia’s printed and 3d versions of his paintings, brings his art to life in the form of engineered print and knit dresses, incredibly embellished skirts, as well as stand out illustrated figurines from his paintings in pop-art colors.

Throughout the collection, we find styling inspiration rooted in the iconic moments of the ’60s pop era. From impeccably tailored tweed suits that pay homage to old-world glamor of days gone by, to standout crystal and pearl-covered capes paired effortlessly with modern wide-leg pleated pants, the styling of the collection seamlessly merges past and present. shimmering sequined suits, skirts, and swing coats feel fresh and cool and the must-have baggy jeans of the season are juxtaposed with exquisite bouclé jackets.

Sensual and striking jersey dresses for evening wear, which Bendet explores with her trademark vibrant and imaginative flair. From the retro 60s feeling Sequined and tweed jackets to metallic jacquard gowns, the pieces exude opulence and refinement with a creative twist. Boucle color block jackets and skirts offer a contemporary take on classic elegance, while bow-front capes and wide-leg pants evoke a sense of timeless charm. A “stace face” embellished brocade skirt is truly art unto itself!
