 This season, Stacey Bendet, the creative director of Alice + Olivia, is avoiding minimalism. Bendet imagined a fanciful universe where elegance and creativity collided for Spring Summer 2025. Known as "The Hotel of Imagination," each piece in this collection offered a different atmosphere, style, or narrative while being transformed into a room within a fanciful hotel. Bendet's creative attitude to fashion and meticulous attention to detail are evident in the way she combines on-trend components with opulent, striking creations.

Bendet's evolution of the iconic pant, which contributed to defining the Alice + Olivia brand, is one of the highlights. She debuted the wide-legged New Olivia pant this season, which the designer claims has a figure-flattering cut that "makes your butt look amazing." With pieces like a corset with hidden boning to increase shape and removable tiered layers on dresses that can be worn from day to night, the collection emphasises fit and form throughout.

The assortment draws inspiration from both whimsy and practicality. Trendy styles include butter yellow drop waist maxis and rugby shirts with stripes in candy colours. The most ornate option includes a floor-length velvet burnout cloak worn with a tiered corset dress embellished with moiré polka dots. The ensemble oozes tremendous drama. Incorporating whimsical designs and three-dimensional hand-beaded florals into the collection, Bendet demonstrates her talent for crafting pieces that are adaptable enough to appeal to a wide range of consumers, from "ladies who lunch" to "Alice + Olivia boss babes."

The compilation is not without its detractors, though. Although Bendet's design elements and embellishments are certainly striking, several low-end aspects, such as exposed zippers and elasticated back panels, take away from the overall opulent vibe. Considering Alice + Olivia products are expensive, some customers would anticipate a more elegant finish throughout.

Palm Beach women, businesspeople, and fashionable socialites continue to make up Bendet's varied and devoted clientele. The audience is still drawn to the designer's method of striking a balance between whimsy and refinement. Refining the harmony between extravagance and attention to detail, however, may hold the key to further enhancing her collection as she imagines new worlds and styles.
