For its spring/summer 2019 show during New York Fashion Week, Alice + Olivia took us on a global adventure without leaving the city. How did Stacey Bendet’s latest designs—inspired by women from around the world—accomplish the feel of international travel from a NYC runway, you may ask? By moving her travel-themed show, aptly titled “Passport to Wonderland,” aboard the Fashion Yacht at the Chelsea Piers, co-hosting the event with travel site Booking.com. The presentation space on the 70-foot yacht was transformed into an intricate set, with sections modelled to evoke different locales—like a Parisian café and the regal countryside of Provence—for ultimate getaway vibes.

Because the Alice + Olivia show left us with a very strong urge to pack our Rimowa suitcase and hop on the first flight available, here are five destinations to jetset to based on the new collection.

Paris

Imaxtree

The looks: According to Booking.com, 60 percent of Canadian travellers consider Paris to be the most stylish city in the world—a vibe the Alice + Olivia collection captured with scarf prints and chic reversible jackets.

Editor tip: We recommend staying in the heart of the city for the full experience—the Be You Luxury Apart’Hotel – La Poudrée apartment hotel, for example, is chic, vibrant and steps away from the famed Moulin Rouge.

Marrakech

Imaxtree

The looks: In the Marrakech section of the fashion show, Bendet showcased breezy dresses trimmed with lace, as well as black and neon yellow looks.

Editor tip: We’ve already made our case for visiting the chic Moroccan capital: one-of-a-kind boutiques and local vendors, delicious food and a museum dedicated to YSL himself. El Fenn, Vanessa Branson’s 28-room former palace turned boutique arts hotel, is a must-try spot for dinner and drinks and has an amazing views to boot.

Provence

Imaxtree

The looks: Whimsical and delicate white and blues reigned supreme in Bendet’s Provence. What better to wear when frolicking in the French countryside, after all?

Editor tip: Stay at the dream-worthy Couvent des Minimes in quaint Provence village Mane. A former convent built in the early 17th century is now a luxe hotel set in sprawling gardens with a L’Occitane Spa on site.

Tokyo

Imaxtree

The looks: Springtime in Japan for the brand meant beautiful pastels, necktie scarves and a lavender wall of hundreds of maneki-neko (a cat talisman meant to bring good luck).

The destination: What did we do when we had a mere 24 hours in Tokyo at the end of last year? Snacked on a grilled pumpkin matcha burger at the ELLE Café, did karaoke at the luxe 1 Oak lounge and got lost in the thrilling bustle of the city.
