Alice and Olivia‘s Spring Summer 25 collection, titled “Hotel of Imagination,” takes viewers on a visual journey through a dreamlike world crafted by designer Stacey Bendet. Photographer Elys Berroteràn captured backstage moments at the Alice and Olivia Spring Summer 25 show, exclusively for DSCENE Magazine. Each room in this metaphorical hotel is a tribute to a different aesthetic, featuring signature prints and textures. One standout space, the “lace library,” pays homage to Bendet’s family history in the lace business, incorporating delicate lace into tiered gowns and intricate blouses. This collection brings together romance and wearability, with pieces like sculptural jackets and versatile snap skirts designed for functionality as well as style.

In keeping with the whimsical theme, the collection includes vibrant florals and embroidered details, with highlights such as a butter-yellow drop-waist dress that stood out among the more delicate pieces. The “Garden Fête” section, rich with floral embellishments, brings a sense of joy and playfulness to the presentation. Additionally, a touch of vintage Americana is evident in 1950s-inspired ballgown skirts and cuffed jeans, embracing bold prints like cheetah and pinstripes.
