Alice + Olivia’s Pre-Fall 2013 Collection is vivid flashback to ’60s Britain, with the use of plaid, lace, leather, and red and black color motifs giving off an edgy, rebellious style that was characteristic of the period. However, designer Stacey Bendet added a modern twist to the collection with abstract patterns, flattering cuts, playful dresses and elegant gowns. Paired with knee high, heeled black boots – these looks are a contemporary must-have for fall.

alice + olivia’s “Very Secret Garden” for Spring 2012

by FashionPulseAlana

Launched in 2002, alice + olivia by Stacey Bendet is clothing that packs a powerful personality punch, and lots of it. This year’s spring 2012 assortment was inspired by the idea of the “Very Secret Garden,” a classic concept of knowledge, mystery, and wonder.  It is a ready-to-wear collection of party dresses, crop-tops, bustiers, here-to-stay maxi dresses, high-rise wide leg pants and other separates that do not fall short of a feminine magnetism.

Entering the showroom was like entering the closet of my dreams…and that’s before I even noticed the shoes! Bold purple, poppy, orange, green, strawberry pink and icy blue all popped against the white walls of the room. Pretty suede, silk, and tweed fabrics captured the essence of the private garden theme. One-shoulder shift dresses and the incorporation of numerous bustier tops offered a sensual feel, while both exaggerated and miniature floral patterns maintained the season’s girlish charm. I can totally envision the summery knits paired with the brand’s premier line of colored denim; a fun rack filled with bubble gum pink, lemon yellow, and robin’s egg blue jeans.

The spring assortment of a+ 0 shoes, Bendet’s first full line, presented gorgeous bright wedges, some plain and some adorned with painted snakeskin. Yet, neutrals also remained essential to the sky high pumps, wedges, and flat sparkling sandals. Overall, the looks can certainly please a number of girls, moods and styles. Bendet also continues to expand her aesthetic collaborating with the legendary Gene Meyer on a scarf collection.

The alice + olivia girl is the life of the party, in a sweet, refined way. You can’t take your eyes off of her — there is glitz and glam via sequins, feather, and leather, but there is also a delicate undertone beneath the entire line. Perhaps this ethereal duality is what makes the clothing and accessories so appealing and enduring.

Cynthia Steffe

Cynthia Steffe presented a Spring 2011 Collection perfectly suited for everyday wear. Each garment was contemporary yet retro, giving traditional shapes a modern twist. Ranging from bright pinks, blues, and greens, to earthy browns, Steffe created pieces in eye catching hues, fit for nearly any occasion. Comprised of fabrics with a sleek, sporty feel, the clothing was casual, but still extremely fashion forward! While the collection included many menswear-inspired looks, the loose-fitting tops, cutout shoulders, and slit backs kept the clothing feeling very feminine.

Vassilios Kostetsos

Vassilios Kostetsos took the audience on an amazing adventure through ancient Greece with his dazzling Spring 2011 Collection. With Grecian prints, exaggerated shoulders, and armor-inspired pieces, this collection was made for the strong, audacious individual. The lustrous silk materials, intricate beading, and metallic colors gave the clothing a royal quality, making each garment really shine on the runway. Kostetsos showed a tendency towards figure hugging dresses with an emphasis on the shoulders and neckline, as well as long fluid trains. Even swimwear made an appearance in this collection that truly had it all!

Alice & Olivia

Prints, polka dots, glitter, and glam collide to create an uber-girlie fashion experience! With highwaisted bell bottoms and flapper-esque ensembles, Stacey Bendet takes you on a tour of decades past. The layering of patterns and textures is key in this funky collection. With extra emphasis on sparkles and beading, Bendet makes sure to keep each garment light with whimsical chiffon and bright accessories that really pop. This Spring 2011 Collection for Alice & Olivia is truly a fashion lovers paradise!

Payless Spring 2009 Collections: Get Excited for Fabulous, Affordable Styles!

by fashionpulse

picture-3

We recently attended the Payless Spring 2009 preview, and are excited to announce the continuation of fabulous designer styles by the likes of Abaete, Lela Rose, and Alice + Olivia. In addition to the designer collaboration collections that we love,  two pleasant new surprises are on the way: a  hand-dyed collection by Lela Rose in silhouettes that you will actually want to wear to a wedding or formal occasion  and the incredibly innovative (not to mention adorable and afordable) green footwear collection.

We were most impressed with the incredible consideration put into the eco-line, dubbed Zoe & Zac, making everything from the upper materials, soles, rubber, detailing and more in an eco-conscious way.  Payless partnered with Summer Rayne Oaks, a model-activist,  spokesperson, and consultant in sustainable development to make sure the collection was ground-breaking in the realm of green and stylish. We can’t wait to get at least a few pairs once they hit stores in April of 2009!
