“This season we focused on the interplay between understated fantasy and technical fabrications to create textured minimalism,” ALC's Andrea Lieberman said of her line of resorts, internally called vacation/pre-spring.
Lieberman's job is simple: She creates pieces that her client can add to an existing wardrobe, injecting newness without feeling too trendy. She has a timeless sensibility focused on innovation and the textures of fabrics. “Fifteen years later, we have mastered our women's needs and, as such, this collection features riffs on classic tailoring, an evolution of our successful program of layering fabrics and event-ready dresses and sets,” she explained.
The festive side saw some special occasion dress options with a bit of sparkle in a voluminous cloud-shaped top and a crystal-embellished black or white skirt, sheer moments in A-line skirts, a slip dress and well-dressed suits. made with a tuxedo. Details in Italian fabrics, which underline the push and pull between male and female clothing that is ALC's sweet spot. The silhouettes were simple but sculptural and the fabrics were luxurious. There were great pieces to wear, including Henley-style knits and standout outerwear. A super-soft leather trench coat and a technical parka with faux fur and faux fox fur trim were other highlights, adding to a collection of pieces sure to last beyond the season.
