“Commercial, touch wood, fantastic,” said Andrea Lieberman in a preview of her Resort 2023 A.L.C. Collection. “We are preparing to open a store in Miami in October, we launched the swimsuit and we found our best option.”

For vacation, that means modern, short, structured LBDs in cady fabrics with cutouts and puff sleeves, or sheer mesh inserts, as well as vacation-ready satin halter dresses, pleated flat knit dresses or full-length gowns with crystal-edged cutouts.

Carrying the party theme over to the pieces, crystal mesh dresses look great with oversized white boyfriend shirts and silver vegan leather pleated skirts look great with cozy fisherman sweaters. The brand’s hugely successful Paloma pillow bag was also given a rhinestone dusting.

Suits have also become key to the 14-year-old contemporary brand, Lieberman said, with a flowing peach silk suit “designed for that moment when you want to feel more intensely feminine than softly feminine.

Other suits, more inspired by ’60s styles with slight flares at the ankles, include a lime green brocade that the designer named “Carlyle” “because I grew up near the Carlyle Hotel and our store is a stone’s throw away,” she says. ” she said. The raspberry velvet tuxedo makes a statement.

A.L.C. has made vegan leather a growing category, expanding it from coats to sophisticated everyday wear, including affordable cognac vegan leather oversized blazers and woodworking dresses, which the former stylist paired with grass-green sweaters and lavender bags.

When it comes to pops of color and party style, Lieberman explains that she has Miami New Year in mind. “By then, we’ll definitely be opening our Miami store in the Design District.”
