A.L.C. Spring 2026 Ready-to-Wear

Despite the lace-trimmed fluorescent cantaloupe slip and the voluminous poplin dress, spring 2026 was a particularly sporty season for A.L.C., complete with compact knit crewnecks and slouchy cargo pants. “This, for me, is sportswear how I want to wear it,” designer Andrea Lieberman said. “It’s got a little bit of masculine edge, but then it just looks cool and feminine and confident.” That’s the operative word of the season. “Confident,” she added. “I think our brand of femininity really is that.” Relaxed silhouettes and fabrics played a dominant role in the collection. A navy jersey dress and a loose mint knit set offered a relaxed take on occasionwear, befitting Lieberman’s cool California clientele right down to the SeaCell jersey derived from seaweed. On that note: Citing supply-chain issues, A.L.C. has moved some of its operations to Los Angeles. Still, much of the product is made in Italian mills. “So much of the brand is based on community—not only our customer but who we work with,” she said. “Everybody who touches the product has an incredible nose for luxury.”
