Bendet went through Wesselmann's archives and created fun turtlenecks, prismatic jackets, and maxi skirts embellished with paintings. However, the creative expression didn't end there. Larger-than-life 3D sculptures inspired by Wesselmann's themes welcomed guests to the presentation, which took place across the street from the A + O offices. The sculptures included giant lipsticks, sunglasses, and even clouds, bows, and roses.
Bendet, however, doesn't only copy designs; she also injects her own whimsical flair with sculptural elements and an unexpected move into jersey dresses with a minimalist aesthetic. While the brand's iconic beaded tweed jackets and stylish minidresses are still available, wide-leg, double-pleated black pants give a fresh style that epitomises daily glamour. This tasteful fusion of well-known favourites, creative expression, and a hint of minimalism strengthens Alice + Olivia's reputation as a company that embraces happiness, daring, and daily glamour with a fun edge.
