On display were the very pieces ALC has refined over the last fifteen years. Event dresses with clean lines and clever details stood out for special occasions, while modern suits played with proportion and texture. Meanwhile, foundational everyday items offered reliable starting points for any outfit. Thoughtful accessories—totes, clutches, and collaborative pieces with Nike, Amanu, and Barton Perreira—completed the range.

The brand’s debut showcase in the country also drew a stylish crowd, including Nikki Huang, Kylie Verzosa, Kyline Alcantara, Stephanie Dods, and Janeena Chan.
