Alice + Olivia describes 2012 as, "The year of the dinner party," which makes sense, since the brand's fall 2012 Fashion Week presentation was very festive. Waiters passed specialty cocktails and Magnum ice-cream bars, as attendees admired designer Stacey Bendet's Lolita-inspired collection. The beautifully, and of course, festively dressed models lined three walls of the room—allowing for an easy view of the collection, (unlike at a certain other presentation we could mention). All wore their hair in chignons, which somehow made every one of them look like a cross between Michelle Trachtenberg and Nicole Kidman.
The clothes were fabulous, and just what you'd expect from Alice + Olivia—glittery, glamorous, and hip. The collection's "coquette cool" vibe ran through all the garments, particularly the outerwear and eveningwear—with the latter category including the launch of the brand's first gown collection. Fabrics included everything we love—rich brocades, leathers, embroidery, furs, and metallics. And the pallet was made up of bold jewel tones mixed in with Stacey's signature black and white colorblocking. Every look made a statement.
