Alice + Olivia Collaborate with Artist Lakwena for International Women’s Month

By  | 

Bright colors, stripes and positive messages of empowerment are the trademarks of Alice + Olivia’s new collaboration with London-based street Artist Lakwena’s new capsule collection.  The collection is launching to celebrate  International Women’s Day 2020 (March 8) and Women’s History Month.

The cheerful collection is designed to use Lakwena art to  combats the pessimism of our contemporary social and political climate with empowering statements like:  “RAISE YOUR HOPES”, “LIFT YOU HIGHER”, “POWER.”  All that is missing is an Ain’t No Mountain High Enough message! 🙂

The designs and positive affirmations are now wearable art with the Alice + Olivia by Stacey Bendet x Lakwena collection.

“I love the positivity and graphic beauty of Lakwena’s artwork,” said Bendet, “each of her works are visual symbols of strength and optimism!”

The collection is now available for sale on the Alice + Olivia website, at the brand’s retail locations, department and specialty store accounts, and e-commerce.

For conscious consumers, there’s good news about how profits of the collection will benefit charity. Alice + Olivia by Stacey Bendet will be donating 10% of sales to LifeWay Network, an organization fighting to end human trafficking by raising consciousness and providing safe housing and mentorship to survivors.

The Alice + Olivia by Stacey Bendet x Lakwena capsule collection includes a selection of the artist’s affirmations printed on a ball gown skirt, reversible kimono, and a range of empowering tees. The collection, which is available via the brand’s website, as well as select retailers, retails between $225 for a tee to $595 for a maxi skirt.
