Who Owns Alice + Olivia?
Alice + Olivia was created by New York Native Stacey Bendet in 2002. Her initial motivation for founding the company was a quest to create the perfect pair of pants. The brand’s immediate success attracted the attention of Theory founder Andrew Rosen who joined Alice + Olivia as a partner. Andrew Rosen is often credited for expanding the contemporary fashion market. His backing has helped Alice + Olivia grow into the entire modern lifestyle brand we know today.
The inspiration for the clothes and designs Bendet makes for Alice + Olivia originate from her love of all things female and vintage. You can see this in the way her designs incorporate ornamented fabrics, colorful prints, and ultra-flattering fits.
Stacey Bendet is the creative director and full-time CEO of Alice + Olivia while also being a wife and mother to three daughters. If more boss-mom energy is needed for you, Bendet also prioritizes supporting charities in her personal and professional life.
She is known to spend time visiting vintage stores and flea markets, as well as traveling with her family. If you ever had any doubt about Bendet’s sense of fashion, allow us to put your mind at ease with this little factoid. Stacey Bendet has been featured on Vanity Fair’s Best Dressed List five times and is even in their hall of fame.
Bendet’s work has only continued from there. In 2020 she co-founded Creatively, a networking platform designed to help those in creative industries connect to one another and find job opportunities.
Think Linkedin, but with a greater focus on individuals from creative backgrounds and a more significant promotion of remote work. Creatively is an excellent platform for individuals to showcase their talents and work so that brands can find exceptional new talent.
