The collection carried the formal title "Max Alexander Women’s Ready‑to‑Wear Fall/Winter 2026–2027" and was presented as a 15‑look ready‑to‑wear lineup on March 3, 2026. (cbsnews.com) Alexander said roughly 90% of the garments were made from deadstock, surplus textiles, recycled bags and biodegradable fabrics.
