Alice and Olivia Teams With PQ Swim for a Spring 2026 Swimwear Collection

Two women-founded brands converged on a shared vision of vacation dressing this spring, with Alice + Olivia by Stacey Bendet launching a limited-edition swimwear collaboration with PQ Swim that arrives in two thematic drops across the season.

The 27-piece collection pairs Alice + Olivia's spring prints with PQ Swim's Colombian-made bikinis, bringing together precision-engineered shaping, rich embroidery, elegant macramé, and reversible constructions across 10 bikini sets and five one-piece silhouettes. Prices range from $112 to $216, and the collection is available for one season only at aliceandolivia.com, pqswim.com, and select Alice + Olivia stores.

The first drop, themed East Coast Americana, is available now. A second installment, Palm Beach Glamour, follows in April. The two-chapter structure maps the geographic imagination of the collection: from Nantucket's preppy summer energy to the maximalist resort glamour of South Florida. Campaign photography, shot in Nassau in the Bahamas by photographer Robyn Damianos, anchors both aesthetics in a specific and sun-drenched locale rather than generic tropical shorthand.

"The femininity, color and playful sexiness of Alice + Olivia translates perfectly into swimwear, so every piece feels confident, flattering and ready to be seen," said Stacey Bendet, founder, creative director and chief executive officer of Alice + Olivia. Amber Forge, founder of PQ Swim, framed the partnership as a natural alignment of customer identities: "The PQ girl and the Alice + Olivia girl are made to stand out, and this collaboration celebrates that shared spirit."

For Alice + Olivia loyalists accustomed to the brand's bold ready-to-wear prints, the swimwear reads as a genuine extension of the label's aesthetic rather than a licensed detour. PQ Swim contributes the structural expertise: the sculptural silhouettes and construction techniques that have defined its reputation as a design-driven swimwear brand. The $112 entry point makes the collaboration more accessible than much of Alice + Olivia's mainline ready-to-wear, while the one-season availability window gives it the urgency of a true limited run.
