A.L.C. Spring 2023 Ready-to-Wear

Spring 2023 marks 15 years in business for ALC, and Andrea Lieberman has her label’s mantra down pat: “I say it every season, but we make real clothes for real women that have real lives.” That doesn’t mean the clothes have stayed the same—2012’s skin-tight pants and pastel blazers have given way to today’s neutral-toned slacks and itty bitty tops—but the goal is still to provide attractive ready-to-wear that can be worn to the office, on a date, or anywhere in between. Lieberman speaks to the customer, rather than to the capital- fashion industry. “I remember starting the company, and it was so odd: Everyone thought that us not having a show was a really big deal. But in many ways it was never my intention because I was always customer focused,” she says.
