A.L.C. Embraces West Coast Cool for Spring 2025 Collection
For A.L.C.’s spring 2025 collection, designer Andrea Lieberman drew inspiration from the laid-back vibes of California. With a focus on lightness, airiness, and natural fabrics, Lieberman captured the essence of West Coast cool in her latest designs. The collection featured pieces like a paperweight crinkle suit and a raffia fabricated coat, all in an earthy color palette that exuded effortless style.
One of the standout details of the collection was a gray blazer adorned with dangling freshwater pearls in place of traditional buttons. Lieberman described her love for using jewelry as buttons, adding a touch of elegance to the relaxed silhouettes.
This season, Lieberman moved away from occasion wear and focused on creating everyday pieces that were both chic and comfortable. From grass green crinkled off-the-shoulder midi dresses to knitted maxis with integrated fringed scarves, the collection offered a range of casual yet sophisticated options for the modern woman.
In a departure from previous collections, A.L.C. introduced a range of denim pieces for spring 2025. From straight-legged jeans to cropped flare styles, the brand aimed to dress women for all aspects of their lives. The addition of denim skirts, sailor pants, and chore coats with corduroy collars expanded A.L.C.’s versatility, making it more accessible to a wider audience.
When it comes to effortless style, A.L.C. truly shines. Pieces like a body-hugging scarf dress and a brown leather jacket and skirt set effortlessly blend utilitarian and feminine elements, embodying the essence of California cool. While some pieces, like long white lace shorts with modesty linings, may have felt a bit fussy, the overall collection exuded a sense of easy sophistication.
With a focus on relaxed fabrics, structured silhouettes, and a touch of elegance, A.L.C.’s spring 2025 collection captures the essence of West Coast cool in a way that is both timeless and modern.
