Stacey Bendet brought the drama.

The founder and CEO of Alice + Olivia organized a autumn theater presentation inspired by no one other than William Shakespeare.

The admiration of Finery were famous like Julianne Hough, Tiffany Haddish, Anna Cathcart, Gavin Casalegno, Ming Lee Simmons, Jenny Mollen and Dani Stahl.

“The whole theme was” Shakespeare is in love “, and each group is a different game of Shakespeare,” told Alexa bands, adding that the line is adorned with ornate such as handcuffs and cuts with lace and jacquard shots with gold. “I feel like clothes will be really expensive this year, so let’s make it worth it!”

In preparation of the season, the brand design team visited the Archive collection and costume rental of the Royal Shakespeare company in Stratford-upon-Avon, England. Wonderful deposit catalog dresses, milker, jewelry, armature, shoes and other items dating back to 1879.

Using these objects as a starting point, bands fashioned an embroidered skirt of sonnets, skirts and hats inspired by the 16th century and hats and a black velvet coating inspired by Mrs. Macbeth.

Dozens of models featured in Tableaux Vivants turning back into famous works: a flower fantasy that remembers “Middle Night Dream;” A balcony overlooking a garden from “Romeo and Juliet” and a gold background calling on the Venice trader.

“The beauty of this collection illustrates how we can learn so much from the past to create in the present,” Bendet said.

Her friend Julianne Hough, who slipped into the celebration, dressed in a vest and fresh white pants, told Alexa that she admires the fertile imagination of bands. “Fashion can sometimes feel quite full – we take things so seriously. She does such a great job in creating fun and games. Always is always an explosion. ”
