Stacey Bendet Biography
Stacey Bendet is an American fashion designer and entrepreneur recognized as the founder and CEO of "Alice + Olivia," a leading contemporary women's fashion brand. The company originated from Bendet's pursuit to design the ideal pair of pants, evolving into a global fashion label known for bold prints, distinctive details, and feminine silhouettes. Bendet, a University of Pennsylvania graduate, initially designed flash websites before transitioning to fashion design. Her modification of a pair of jeans to create a leg-lengthening silhouette attracted early attention from designer Lisa Kline, which helped launch the business.
Following the brand's debut, Theory founder Andrew Rosen joined as a partner, contributing to the expansion of "Alice + Olivia" into a comprehensive lifestyle brand offering ready-to-wear, gowns, shoes, handbags, and accessories. Bendet draws inspiration from vintage aesthetics and feminine design, creating collections that blend whimsical and sophisticated elements. The brand has become popular among celebrities, including Gigi Hadid, Beyoncé, and Meghan Markle, and operates dozens of stores in cities worldwide, establishing Bendet as a prominent figure in contemporary fashion.
In addition to her work in fashion, Bendet is an entrepreneur and advocate. She founded Creatively, a networking platform for the creative industry, designed to showcase portfolios and foster collaboration. Bendet also co-founded #ShareTheMicNow, an Instagram campaign promoting diversity and inclusion by amplifying Black women's voices in media. She is a co-founder of BIGFEELINGS, a sleep-to-streetwear concept supporting Project Healthy Minds.
Bendet serves on the board of the Council of Fashion Designers of America, where she has held the role of treasurer. She is a trustee of Good+, a New York City-based foundation supporting families in need, and sits on the board of the Jay H. Baker Retailing Center at the Wharton School. Bendet has been inducted into Vanity Fair's Best-Dressed Hall of Fame and received a nomination for CFDA Designer of the Year, as well as recognition from Crain's New York 40 Under 40. Her career reflects expertise in entrepreneurship, fashion design, women's leadership, and creative innovation.
