Stacey Bendet brought her Spring 2026 collection to life at New York City’s Hall of Records on September 13, turning the historic space into a vibrant celebration of American women. Titled We the Women, the show honored the strength, style, and creativity that have shaped the nation while offering a playful, modern take on classic American fashion
The 45-look collection blended iconic sportswear staples with elevated eveningwear. Think preppy polos, collegiate knits, and pleated minis alongside sharp tuxedo-inspired dresses, corseted minis, and sweeping ballgowns. Pops of red, emerald, navy, and pastel pink energized the lineup, while intricate embroidery, sequins, and layered fabrics added texture and dimension.
The set design mirrored the collection’s bold spirit. Guests encountered a 20-foot Statue of Liberty adorned in butterflies and roses, a reimagined Constitution titled We the Women, and an abstract American flag mural, creating an immersive backdrop that celebrated heritage and innovation. With this collection, Bendet fused whimsy, history, and modern style, offering a tribute to the women whose influence continues to shape fashion and the country itself.
